| Summary | The student will undertake a detailed review of a structural fire safety engineering (or related) topic in parallel with the taught courses in Semester 1 under the supervision of a member of staff. Ideally this would be based upon the chosen dissertation project (choices made available at the start of Semester 1) but this is not mandatory. However, the supervisor for this course will also supervise the subsequent predissertation and dissertation course. It is expected that the topic chosen will be derived from the dissertation project, thus this could will normally serve as an extended literature survey. More specific and self-contained smaller projects could also be undertaken depending on the agreed preference of the student and supervisor.
