Example calculations and scientific analyses and over 100 case-studies will be used by the speakers to demonstrate clearly the application and significance of science principles in fire investigation.  The course is part of the Masters programme in Fire and Explosion Engineering here at Leeds. The syllabus of the course covers the breadth and far exceeds the depth of the subjects required for the IFE membership Examination Paper: Fire Investigation.
