The BEng Naval Architecture with Ocean Engineering at The University of Strathclydeaims to develop graduates capable of dealing with engineering challenges on a wide range of marine vehicles from tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and giant cruise liners to tidal current turbines and oil/gas platforms.

Ocean engineering deals with the technical aspects of fixed and floating marine structures and systems related to harnessing ocean resources. These include offshore oil and gas and the rapidly expanding area of ocean renewable energy, as well as other ocean resource activities such as subsea mining and aquaculture.

In addition to core naval architecture subjects, you'll study a range of specialised ocean engineering subjects and subjects related to the design of novel ship and offshore structures such as risk management and reliability analysis, station-keeping and control and sub-sea engineering.

For BEng students with the appropriate level of academic performance the opportunity to transfer on MEng programme is available.

Careers

With skills including analytical, numeracy and problem-solving Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering graduates are suited to a wide range of career opportunities.
