Navigation and maritime science is an exciting degree designed for students who wish to pursue a career as a Professional Yachtsman, Merchant Navy officer, Super Yacht officers or in Maritime Management.
The course focuses on the interaction of the marine environment, the human element, modern technology and is integrated with a vocational training programme, which leads to a full professional qualification.
I am continually meeting students from my course and other marine courses in ports all over the world. Even here in Fiji! The University of Plymouth is creating a fantastic group of professional alumni working within various maritime sectors.
