Ship science student Michael Beckett  has had a successful summer winning Silver in the U21 worlds in the Netherlands in August. He is a British Sailing Team Podium potential sailor and juggling this with the challenges of studying to become a Naval Architect is an impressive achievement.  Alongside his studies he has also contributed to Ship Science’s outreach activities helping  in the spring with a session we supported for a science week activity at a local school in Alton.  We welcome approaches from schools in our region wishing to learn more about career opportunities in the maritime sector. We are particularly keen to engage with those who might not normally consider engineering as a potential career.
