BEng (Hons) Fire Engineering (Foundation Entry)

University of Lancashire, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree but dont have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree program. Fire and fire safety are key issues in building, infrastructure design, and high-hazard industries. Our program was developed in consultation with employers and professional bodies and because of our established research base, the content is current and highly relevant. The application of fire engineering in the real world is multidisciplinary and so is our course. Youll carry out project work, liaising between fire engineers and other members of the design and management teams.
