The marine industry continues to be very active
in various parts o the world. This has led to an
increase in the demand or design engineers
in the eld o Ship & Oshore Structures,
who can design and assess new ships and
oshore structures. This course is designed or
experienced or newly-qualied engineers in Naval
Architecture, Marine Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, Civil Engineering or other related
disciplines. Its main objectives are to provide:
high calibre graduates with in-depth
knowledge o Ship and Oshore Structures
capable o making signicant contributions tothe Shipbuilding and Oshore industry
graduate engineers o related disciplines
with an opportunity to acquire advanced
knowledge in Ship and Oshore Structures
students with practical knowledge o overall
ship structures, their conceptions and
design, as well as a sound basis in
mathematical and engineering undamentals

EngneerngFACULTY OF
The University o Strathclyde is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, number SC015263.
Faculty o Engineering
The Graduate School o Engineering at
Strathclyde oers a frst-class, multidisciplinary
experience across the range o taught and
research postgraduate programmes. Over 500
postgraduate students and 115 researchers, many
rom overseas, work with academic sta in the
Facultys nine departments. The School is located
in the Faculty o Engineering one o the largestand most important providers o quality engineering
education in Europe.
As a student in the Graduate School o
Engineering, you will be part o a supportive
international community working with academic
experts in top class modern acilities. Our Master
Class series o business and management
workshops help your personal development and
will provide you with opportunities to meet and work
with other students across the range o engineering
disciplines. Through careers seminars and our
extensive industrial contacts, you will also have
opportunities to network with businesses, giving
you invaluable access to potential employers.
Our research is valued by government and
industry alike. Multimillion pound investments
by Research Councils, Government unded
Technology Institutes and companies such
as Rolls-Royce and British Energy mean that
postgraduate students have access to the very
best specialist research acilities. The Facultys
strong industrial links ensure that research felds
are relevant to the needs o society and that
sta, and industry, remain at the oreront o
advancing technologies.
Postgraduate students enjoy excellent support and
opportunities or growth through a comprehensive
induction programme and opportunities to presentwork at events, such as Faculty and University
Research events, or at conerences in the UK or
urther afeld.
The Faculty welcomes applications rom
overseas and oers approximately ten research
scholarships per annum, awarded competitively to
the best qualifed students.

Course StructureThe course structure allows students to deepen
their knowledge in chosen areas and widen
their horizons through exposure to other
disciplines and structured interaction with ellow
students.
Curriculum
The course has three components as ollows:
Instructional Modules
Group Project
Individual Project (MSc only)
Instructional classes oered during the two
semesters include modules, such as:
Risers and Mooring Lines
Dynamics o Ships and Floating Oshore
Structures
Reliability-based Structural Design andPlated Structures
Ultimate Strength o Ship and Shell
Structures
Computational Modelling and
Approximation in Structural Mechanics
Computational Modelling o Non-linear
Problems in Structural Mechanics
Materials Engineering
In groups o three to ve, students work in
consultant teams or 10 weeks on a practical
engineering problem, mirroring how they might
work in industry. To conclude their project,
students have the opportunity to present their
report to a panel o industrial experts. This
learning method provides students with much
sought ater teamworking and communication
skills, plus valuable industrial contact.
Those pursuing the MSc then undertake an
individual project. Students gain experience
in tackling an issue in a methodical manner
on a topic rom the students own interest or
rom a list assembled rom practice. Guidance
is provided by one or two supervisors and the
dissertation assessed by external examiners.The discipline o in-depth study is a lie-long
skill that will be valuable in any position that a
graduate may take up in their career.
AssessmentPerormance is assessed via written exams,
coursework assignments and the individual
project thesis. Teamwork exercises are
assessed on a continuous basis.
Educational ApproachThe Departments educational goal is to
produce condent, competent graduates with
good communication skills, proessional ethos
and a zest or lielong learning. The course uses
a teamwork approach to develop the students
ull potential.
Duration of CourseMSc: 12 months ull-time
PgDip 9 months ull-time
Entry RequirementsFirst- or second-class BEng Honours degree, or
equivalent qualication.
The DepartmentWith an illustrious 125 year history, the
Department o Naval Architecture and Marine
Engineering is a key provider o marine
technology expertise in the UK and beyond.
Ideally located in Glasgow, we continue to build
on the citys rich heritage o shipbuilding and
sea-aring, making signicant contributions to
national and international policy-making and
the advancement o the Marine Technologyeld. Thousands o NA-ME graduates have
had a proound eect in shaping the evolution
o modern naval architecture and marine
engineering worldwide.
The Departments teaching and research
inrastructure includes a comprehensive library
in marine technology, laboratory acilities which
are unparalleled in university terms, excellent
computing acilities and a racing yacht.
The NA-ME laboratory acilities include:
the Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory
at the West o Scotland Science Park,
houses the largest university test tank
in the UK (76m 4.6m 2.5m). This
acility is equipped with state-o-the-art
instrumentation and is used or a wide
variety o model tests in calm water and
in waves.
the Marine Engineering Laboratory in
the Henry Dyer Building which provides
a our-cylinder high-speed diesel engine
test bed, a high-temperature uel cell andother thermofuid experimental apparatus.
The lab oers a testing base or marine
thermodynamic-related projects.
the Hydrodynamics Laboratory in the
Henry Dyer Building houses a wave/towing
tank (21.6m 1.5m 0.8m) suitable or a
wide variety o preliminary tests, as well as
fuid control experiment apparatus.
