BEng (Hons) Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Strathclyde

Why choose this program? Naval architects and marine engineers work with some of the planet's largest mobile structures and most powerful vessels – encompassing massive ships, sailing yachts, high-speed ferries, offshore wind turbines, and oil platforms. Marine engineering focuses on designing, building, installing, and operating machinery and propulsion systems for ships and marine installations. This program prepares engineers to address diverse challenges across various marine vessels, while emphasizing the crucial role of marine engineering in their effective design, construction, repair, and upkeep. Alongside fundamental naval architecture topics, you'll explore specialized marine engineering subjects including control systems, electrical engineering, marine engine design (covering diesel, diesel-electric, and gas turbine systems), propulsion systems, simulation techniques, sustainable technologies, and fuel cell applications. High-achieving BEng students may qualify to transition to the MEng program. Why study here? Develop expertise to solve engineering problems across marine vessels Access specialized facilities including our wave tank, engine laboratory, VR lab, and full-scale ship bridge simulator Chance to train on our 33-foot racing yacht International internship possibilities Available departmental and faculty funding and scholarships Career prospects Graduates in Naval Architecture and High Performance Marine Vehicles develop strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving abilities, opening doors to diverse career paths.
