The credits stated indicate the total for all courses leading to the degree. All courses are to have been completed and passed.
A requirement for the award of a Bachelor of Science in Fire Protection Engineering is completion by the student of an independent project (degree project) for at least 15 credits. (The Higher Education Ordinance, Annex 2 Qualifications ordinance)
Compulsory courses in professional degrees the equivalent of 210 credits may consist of courses at first and second cycle levels. Compulsory courses at second cycle level equal to a maximum of 30 credits may be included. (Riktlinjer för Bolognaanpassning (Guidelines for Bologna adaptation), LTU Dnr 783-06)
- general knowledge of fire protection measures and methods
- the required knowledge for working independently as a fire protection engineer
- general knowledge of risks and assessments of risks
All course requirements for this degree are stated in the official syllabus.
A degree certificate will be issued upon application to students who fulfil the requirements for a degree.
