Our MSc Fire Engineering Science is the latest degree offering in the University of Edinburgh’s long history of fire science and engineering education. The programme brings together classes from across different areas of fire safety with a strong core of fundamental fire science, an emphasis on experimental investigation, and with classes in numerical models and design applications. Students will also study the regulation of fire risks and how to protect buildings from the adverse effects of fire.
Fire safety engineering researcher Professor Luke Bisby has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng), in recognition of his exceptional contributions to his sector.
Our BRE Chair of Fire Safety Engineering, Professor Grunde Jomaas, has received the John L. Bryan Award in recognition of his dedication to supporting and educating fire safety engineers.
Postgraduate research students from the School of Engineering took home the top prizes at the Institution of Structural Engineers Young Researchers Conference on Wednesday 17 March.
At a time when most labs are closed, Professor Grunde Jomaas from the University of Edinburgh’s School of Engineering is part of a team carrying out unique experiments in a very remote location – a spacecraft in orbit.
