The “International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering (IMFSE)”, is commonly organized by the universities of Ghent (Belgium - coordinator), Edinburgh (UK) and Lund (Sweden). This two-year educational program in the Erasmus Mundus framework provides the required knowledge for a professional fire safety engineer in a Performance Based Design environment.
Besides interuniversity cooperation, student mobility in Europe is a major point of interest. The mobility structure, with possible change in study location after each semester, gives the students the opportunity to gain from the strengths and expertise of each of the three universities.
The first semester, covering basic topics in fire safety engineering, is taught in Ghent or Edinburgh. All students spend the second semester in Lund, with emphasis on enclosure fire dynamics, risk analysis and human behavior. The third semester is again taught in
Ghent (for general FSE) or Edinburgh (with focus on fire and structures engineering in the context of FSE). The fourth semester is devoted to the Master’s thesis.
IMFSE welcomes holders of a Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in engineering or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution (minimum 3 years full-time study or 180 ECTS credits). Students in their last year of a Bachelor program can also apply but need to obtain their engineering diploma prior to the start of the IMFSE-program.
The application forms, basic requirements and all other information are found on the website: http://www.imfse.ugent.be/.
