Fire Engineering

The University Specialist Study in Fire Engineering is a postgraduate multidisciplinary program designed for all technical professions (civil engineers, architects, mechanical and electrical engineers, etc.) involved in the design, construction, and maintenance of buildings from the perspective of fire safety. Therefore, the study program includes courses dealing with the phenomenon of fire and smoke development, its impact on people, materials, and structures, and ultimately methods for systematic fire protection based on scientific knowledge in this field.

The primary objective of the postgraduate specialist study in Fire Engineering is the application of engineering and scientific methods to achieve a more objective assessment of the effects of fire on people and buildings in specific situations, thereby increasing the safety of individuals, buildings, and the environment. It is essential to establish the boundary of acceptable and realistic risk, along with the cost-effectiveness of the measures applied. The study program has been conducted since the academic year 2006/2007.
