BSc (Hons) Fire and Leadership Studies

The course combines academic study with practical hands-on training in fire service operations. It covers leadership, fire risk management, fire and rescue operations, fire science, fire safety, fire investigation, human resource management, business and management practice.

We combine theoretical science with hands-on practical and leadership skills. Recent course improvements include breathing apparatus, road traffic accident rescue technician training and trauma care.

If you’re ultimately looking for a rewarding career in local authority fire and rescue services, this is an excellent route to take. There’s a part-time option for serving officers. This also means full-time students benefit from learning alongside experienced operational firefighters.

The course is supported by an industrial liaison group, which reviews and inputs into the course to ensure it meets fire industry needs.
