International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering
The International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering (IMFSE) equips students with the knowledge and skills to design and engineer the built environment in ways that reduce both the likelihood and the consequences of fire. Our four partner universities (Ghent University, University of Edinburgh, Lund University and UPC Barcelona) each play a leading role in fire safety engineering research and education in Europe, ensuring that graduates gain a broad and high-level understanding of the field. This two-year programme offers a unique international experience, with students studying at a different university each semester.
EUR-ACE® Master (EURopean ACcredited Engineering Master)
The EUR-ACE label was accredited to this programme by the Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI), under the auspices of the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).
EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.
