New Maritime Academy will prepare students for industry faster

摘要

The degree courses being offered by Gibraltar Maritime Academy which will open its doors at the University of Gibraltar's Europa Point site in September, will provide students with the knowledge and skills they will need for a career within the maritime sector, says Programme Coordinator (Marine) Aaron Lopez. There will be a BSc (Hons) in Maritime Science (Nautical) with deck cadetship and a BSc (Hons) in Maritime Science (Engineering) with engineer cadetship, which would lead to deck officer of the watch or engineer officer of the watch certification, meaning participants can go directly into the industry as officers. All the STCW courses required to achieve the above qualifications will also be offered in-house at the Academy.
