Riverside Campus
Situated on the south bank of the River Clyde the Riverside
Campus represents a £66 million investment in maritime
education and training, marine engineering and science,
technology, engineering and mathematics.
Riverside is the most modern, most technologically advanced, most
future-proofed maritime campus of all 230 such colleges anywhere in
the world. It has won a number of esteemed architectural and design
awards and is home to 3,500 Marine and Engineering students who have
access to a 198-bed en-suite student accommodation tower that sits
alongside the main college building, separated by a continental style
colonnade and garden area.
The campus' £6 million Marine Skills Centre - suspended above the river
- has its own classrooms, jetty, rescue lifeboats and a free fall lifeboat.
It is one of only four colleges in the UK recognised to deliver merchant
marine officer training to Master and Chief Engineer level.
The campus also features the first 360 degree shipping simulation
suite with Dynamic Positioning in Scotland, state-of-the-art nautical
chart rooms and a pioneering and dynamic working engine room that is
unique to the UK education sector.
City Campus
Located in Glasgow's Cathedral Street the new City Campus opened
its doors in August 2016. This meticulously designed and future
proofed campus will create a powerhouse for skills development
for the next 50 years. It is expected to serve up to 40,000 students a
year (including Riverside) and six million students in its lifetime.
Forming part of Glasgow's Learning Quarter, City Campus features:
• Over 500 learning spaces.
• Industry standard environments including TV, radio and
photography studios.
• State-of-the art food and hospitality work spaces.

The building is on an awe inspiring scale and radically alters the
skyline in the city of Glasgow. This pioneering development will not

education landscape in Glasgow and Scotland.
