Each student takes the course Design for Structural Fire Resistance (E051512), either in year 1 or in year 2.
Students without the prerequisite structural/civil engineering background take Analysis of Structures (E051511) in year 1 and Design for Structural Fire Resistance (E051512) in year 2. They can also choose Applications of Advanced Structural Fire Engineering (E051620) as an extra elective in year 2.
Students with the necessary initial competences choose Design for Structural Fire Resistance (E051512) in year 1 and subscribe to Applications of Advanced Structural Fire Engineering (E051620) in year 2.
