Ship Science and the University Careers and Employability Service recently held the 1st Maritime Careers Event. This was hosted on the Boldrewood campus with many companies stands and talks being given.
The event was well attended by 120 students from Ship science, other engineering disciplines, and maritime law during the day. Feedback from both employers and students has been very positive and we hope to be able to hold the event again next year so watch this space!

Many of whom sent recent (or not so recent) ship science graduates!
