To conclude their project, students have the opportunity to present their report to a panel of industrial experts. This learning method provides students with much sought after teamworking and communication skills, plus valuable industrial contact.
Individual Project (MSc only)
Those pursuing the MSc then undertake an individual project. Students gain experience in tackling an issue in a methodical manner on a topic from the student’s own interest or from a list assembled from practice. Guidance is provided by one or two supervisors and the dissertation assessed by external examiners. The discipline of in-depth study is a life-long skill that will be valuable in any position that a graduate may take up in their career.

The normal standard required is IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 600 or TOEFL 250 (computer-based test). Students who obtained their first degree taught in English and those from certain countries may be exempt from this requirement. Applicants who have marginally lower scores of the above tests may be required to attend one or more modules of the pre-session English course offered by Strathclyde University's English Language Teaching Division (ELTD).
The normal qualification for MSc course is a BEng with second class Honours or better. Additionally candidates with Master's Certificate or Chief Engineer's Certificate with substantial seagoing experience at a senior level will also be considered for the MSc course. Marginally lower qualifications will be considered for PGDip and PGCert. PGDip candidates who perform well in the taught classes may be considered for transfer to MSc degree course, if so wished.
Overseas applicants and unconventional qualifications will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Applicants with sea-going experience are invited to specify their experience relevant to the course.
Students with a Diploma from some approved overseas institutions (for example Norwegian Høgskolen) may be admitted into a specially designed two-year course.
