Marine, Maritime, Sustainability and Engineering College

Study with MLA College

Our programme delivery has been designed with the working professional in mind. Whether working at sea, or ashore, our Total Learning Package (TLP) allows you to study an undergraduate or postgraduate maritime UK degree, awarded by the University of Plymouth, regardless of your global location.

The TLP allows you to download your course materials so you can study on or offline at a pace that suits you. There are no live lectures, which allows you to balance your career and other life commitments whilst pursuing your university online degree.

Our staff travelled to Singapore in March 2025 to celebrate with students past and present; honouring their academic achievements at the first international graduation for the College.

Graduate Testimonials

Timothy Adeyemo

BSc (Hons) Sustainable Maritime Operations

MLA College provided me with far more than a qualification, it provided the knowledge, confidence and professional foundation that has supported my continued growth within the maritime industry. The flexibility of the programme, combined with its strong industry relevance, allowed me to advance my education while maintaining a demanding professional career.

The skills and insights I gained through MLA College continue to influence my work today and have contributed to significant professional achievements, including the publication of my book, Mastery of Maritime Compliance. I am proud to be associated with MLA College and frequently recommend it to colleagues and aspiring maritime professionals looking to invest in their future.

For anyone seeking a flexible, high-quality education with real-world industry value, I would highly recommend MLA College.
