BUSINESS & LEADERSHIP

   

The Open University and Marine Society continues to enjoy a partnership that is over 40 years and the OU offers a BA/BSc Open Degree put together for seafarers that focuses on Business, Leadership & Management.
 

This degree programme has preselected, recommended strands that are seafarer-friendly and tailored to the needs of the maritime sector.

 

The degree has been mapped for credit transfer against a seafarers’ HND in Nautical Science or Marine Engineering and attracts 120 points at Level 1 and a further 60 at Level 2. This leaves only a 60 point course at Level 2 and two 30 point courses at Level 3 to get the degree.
 

This makes the qualification achievable within two years and is far more affordable than would otherwise be the case.

 

And because it comes from the OU, the degree can be achieved either at sea or ashore.
 

This is a distance taught programme, with the Marine Society offering underpinning support as necessary.

 

Students who complete this degree will gain a good understanding of business, leadership and management and their impact on organisations, including wider considerations in the external environment.
 

They will learn a range of analytical and problem-solving skills including management functions such as marketing, human resources and finance, and leading and influencing change. Plus gain relevant and practical skills in communication, IT, numerical interpretation, collaborative working and reflective thinking.
