The University of Queensland offers two programs in Fire Safety Engineering. The programs combine Civil Engineering with additional courses in Fire Safety Engineering. These programs equip Engineerings and Engineering Students with the necessary fundamental skills and knowledge to develop comprehensive Fire Safety Strategies for a broad range of projects. The areas of study include the fundamental processes governing ignition, fire growth, and the response of structures to fire. The course programme develops the design principles required for applying Fire Safety Engineering in the built environment.
