This foundation degree in marine operations is designed for trainee deck officers in the merchant navy. Trainees are backed by shipping firms and receive pay during their training period. Assessment is by formal examination held within the college, with an oral examination carried out by MCA examiners.
Graduates can progress through further sea service and study toward Chief Mate and Master Mariner certificates of competency, which allow holders to command a merchant ship. The foundation degree also gives entry to a maritime BSc or BSc (Hons) programme if that route is wanted.
Applicants must pass a medical examination and an eyesight test before starting. Entry is open to those holding qualifications equivalent to the standard required, provided they hold GCSE English at grade C or better or an IELTS score of 5.0 or higher.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires a UCAS tariff of 56 (preferred) including GCSE passes in four subjects at grade B/6 or better, including Mathematics, a Physical Science, and English (or a subject that makes use of English), plus one other; suitable prior qualifications such as Scottish Highers or National Certificate/Diploma at merit grade or higher are also accepted, with GCSE English grade C or IELTS 5.0 as an alternative English requirement.
