Focus course - Nautical Science in the Marine Environment
This Marine Extension course at South Tyneside College is designed to let you experience all the excitement and variety that a career at sea could offer. Throughout the day and a half you’ll get to try out a range of practical activities, which will give you a small taste of what your college training would involve.
During the course you will:-
-
Have an opportunity to test out your sea legs and discover what it’s like to pilot a ship in the College’s marine simulation unit
-
Learn about life saving in our environmental pool where you’ll be battered by 6ft high waves, thunder, lightning and wind and rain in one of the most realistic simulated storms outside of the North Sea.
-
Find out what makes a ship work by designing your own marine engineering solution
We will introduce you to current students who are working in the industry, so you can hear firsthand about the wealth of opportunities that a marine career can offer. And you will also meet sponsors – such as global shipping companies – who could fund your training, while paying you a monthly salary at the same time!
