History

The Merchant Shipping Act in 1855 provided instruction of navigation leading to Master and Mates qualifications, and paved the way for Leith Nautical College in 1903. Courses were also offered in Marine Engineering and Naval Architecture and the then ‘modern’ wireless telegraphy, including classes for fishermen, deck boy’s courses, along with catering, radar and electronics.

Education

Innovative approaches to teaching and learning enable personalised development across a range of subjects on campus and online. Up to 8,000 graduates leave the college each year ready for the world of work.

Housing services

When you are a student, living at home is the cheapest option. However, if this is not possible and you're looking to move out, or are coming from outside Glasgow, there are plenty of secure and popular living options in and around Glasgow.We are delighted to recommend our modern student accommodation based at Riverside Campus and St Luke's Terrace, just a few minutes from campus. We'd love you to stay in either of them, but if you'd prefer, there are also a number of private student halls across the city — find out more in our Student Accommodation Guide. You can also rent or lodge locally.
