International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering (IMFSE)

The International Master of Science in Fire Safety Engineering (IMFSE) is a 2-year educational programme in the Erasmus+ framework

IMFSE is commonly organized by Ghent University, (Belgium, coordinator) Lund University (Sweden), and the University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom). The programme started for the first time in September 2010. The initiative is carried by professor Bart Merci (Ghent University), professor Patrick van Hees(Lund University) and professor Luke Bisby (The University of Edinburgh). IMFSE also has three r

enowned Associated Partners: The University of Maryland (USA), The University of Queensland (Australia) and ETH Zürich (Switzerland). With annual financial contributions from our 7 sponsors, it has been made possible to create the IMFSE Sponsorship Consortium, which awards IMFSE students with full or partial scholarships. We would like to thank the following sponsoring companies for their support:
ARUP
IFIC
UL
BRE
PROMAT
FPC
FESG

On Friday 26 June 2026, we will celebrate the students graduating from the IMFSE programme in 2026!

After two years of hard studying, frequent travelling and - hopefully - a lot of fun, we’ll send our students off to new adventures. Friends and family of the students are off course invited, but so is anyone who would like to find out more about IMFSE and what our programme is all about.

The event will be held at the lovely Industry Museum in Ghent (Belgium).

On the 24th February the University of Edinburgh was presented with The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Higher and Further Education at a ceremony in St James’s Palace.

The University of Edinburgh was awarded the prize for “A world-first Centre for Fire Safety Engineering, conducting internationally significant research and advanced education and training to underpin fire safety design, policy, regulation and innovation throughout the world in both the built and natural environments.”

This recognition encompasses the breadth of the research and teaching in fire safety engineering at Edinburgh including the IMFSE - powerful testament to its global leadership in fire safety.

Congratulations!

On 12 February 2026, our contributors, associates and all IMFSE students gathered to discuss New technologies in Fire Safety Engineering and in particular, the influence of AI.

From the lectures and the reactions of our participants we've learned that the introduction of AI techniques in Fire Safety Engineering can be useful as well as challenging. Implementing AI and other new technologies in a correct way requires critical minds and well educated engineers.

Exactly why we're here!

We want to thank the speakers and panel members for providing the valuable content for this exclusive networking event. And a thank you to and our colleagues there for organising the event.

Thanks also to all participants for making this an enjoyable day!
It's nice to see the food was also appreciated! 😉
