Glasgow College of Nautical Studies

Glasgow College of Nautical Studies (GCNS) is a further education college of nautical and maritime studies, and a provider of marine and offshore training courses. Degree courses, in subjects including Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, are offered in association with the University of Strathclyde.

The college's main building is located on Thistle Street on the south bank of the River Clyde in central Glasgow in western Scotland.

The college motto is"'Nautical and So Much More" which tries to encapsulate the breadth of courses offered. Courses are offered include beauty care, business, childcare, computing, electronics, social science, sport and leisure.

The Nautical College was expected to merge with three other Glasgow colleges, Central College of Commerce, Stow College, and Glasgow Metropolitan College, but the merger has been put on hold. Fact|date=April 2007

The college is currently in merger talks with Glasgow Metropolitan College but the proposal is unpopular with staff because of suspicions that it is in reality a take-over by a larger but less successful college.
