This Master’s degree programme consists solely of a 12-month research project. With several years senior marine navigation experience you will already have the skills, knowledge and expertise to undertake this stand-alone independent, workplace based project.
You will be encouraged to discover your own research subject for investigation; whether that’s researching new technologies, investigating sustainable operations, or reviewing the science behind the day-to-day navigation strategies. Whatever you decide, we recommend your project be aligned with your aspirations in your current or chosen field of work.
During the 12 months you will plan, execute and report on your chosen project. Following successful completion you will graduate and be awarded the MSc Advanced Navigation for Professionals by the University of Plymouth.
