Fire Safety Engineering at Aalto University

The Building Technology MSc program at Aalto University is a two-year, English-language program covering design, construction, maintenance of buildings. Our mission is to prepare students for creating safe and healthy built environments by combining the needs for energy efficiency and sustainability with the characteristics of a good living environment. The topic groups include structural engineering, building performance, construction management, production and maintenance, and structures and architecture. The program contains two 5-cr courses for fire safety engineering: The first course, Fire dynamics and simulation, introduces the students with fundamentals of fire dynamics by using fire simulation (FDS) both as a learning method and objective. The second course, Fire risk and evacuation analysis, provides the students with skills for performance -based design by expanding the simulation skills towards human behavior and combining them with probabilistic risk analysis.
