School of Professional Studies
Welcome to the home page of the School of Professional Studies at the Warsash Maritime Academy.
The School is responsible for the delivery and assessment of maritime courses that lead to the award of academic qualifications and professional Certificates of Competency for both Deck and Marine Engineering Officers in the Merchant Navy.
With a strong emphasis on the professional requirements for a career at sea the School is staffed predominantly with current or former seafarers, as well as those with specialist knowledge from marine related industries such as naval architecture or maritime law.
Teaching and learning within the School is a blend of traditional and modern methods designed to develop individual skills and equip the student for the challenges faced onboard a modern merchant vessel.
The School provides a supportive and professional environment with all staff dedicated to ensuring that our students spend a successful and productive period at the Academy.
