Course Overview

The GCU program, one of the few offered in the UK, was developed in close partnership with the Fire and Rescue Service. It is unique in its focus on fire safety design and regulations. It was the first in the UK to achieve academic exemption by the Institution of Fire Engineers at the MIFireE level. The course has also been approved by the UK Engineering Council for the IEng standard route and partial fulfillment of the CEng standard route. Risk management, forecasting, problem-solving, and communication are all part of the program, which has strong links with consultants and regulators who share their knowledge through guest lectures, case study materials, and site visits. A number of Fire and Rescue Service Officers are associate lecturers.
