Course Overview
As well as providing a thorough understanding of the interrelationships and fundamental principles of the three main maritime functional areas – navigation, shipboard operations and ship management – the course also incorporates the underpinning knowledge for the Chief Mate Certificate of Competency (STCW (II/2).
During your studies, you will develop the knowledge, understanding and analytical problem-solving skills to anticipate, identify and generate timely and workable solutions to a wide range of problems and issues in those three areas, through the application of theoretical knowledge, practical and professional skills and experience in the workplace.
Our student-centred focus creates a learning environment which is academically rigorous, intellectually challenging and industry-relevant – giving you the tools to think independently, evaluate and enhance your own learning, challenge existing industry practices, and address real-world issues efficiently.
Fostering personal, interpersonal and leadership skills to work effectively as an individual and part of a team, on graduation you will be well placed to take your maritime career to the next level either at sea or in a wide range of shore-based roles, covering everything from management to legal, operations to insurance.
