The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering was established in 2001 through a merge between the Department of Ship and Marine Technology at the University of Strathclyde and the Department of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at the University of Glasgow.
This merger brought considerable benefits enabling complementary knowledge and expertise to be shared leading to the creation of a centre recognised nationally and internationally for its excellence in teaching and research.
Professional Accreditation
Our BEng and MEng courses are accredited by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) on behalf of the Engineering Council.
Career Opportunities
Naval Architects are recognised as one of the highest-paid specialist engineers, with a wide variety of positions and roles. Career opportunities in the maritime industry and further afield, both in the UK and worldwide include ship design and technical consultancy, ship safety, shipping and ship operation and management, as well as specialised areas of fast ships, leisure craft, and shipbuilding and repair. Many of our graduates are involved in management and commerce. Increasingly, graduates will play leading roles in the engineering of offshore renewable energy sources, including offshore wind, wave and tidal power.
