IMarEST bursary to support distance e-learning students globally
An innovative new partnership has been announced between the IMarEST's distance learning arm, MLA, and ABMA Education, an organisation that awards vocational qualifications.
The partnership will work together to increase the career development opportunities for students of shipping and logistics diplomas who aspire to take their education to the next level.
MLA is able to offer Plymouth University degrees in maritime subjects to students studying anywhere in the world, which matches perfectly the existing provision of ABMA Education diplomas in Shipping and Logistics. These courses enable thousands of students in a host of countries to study an industry relevant course to develop their career.
The joint working between ABMA Education and MLA links the two methods of study to provide an additional route of progression for existing students into distance learning higher education. At a time when the maritime industry is desperate for properly qualified personnel, this joint statement of a clear career progression path is extremely good news.
Any students enrolled on these courses will automatically be entitled to complimentary student membership of the IMarEST and all of the benefits of access to information, status and networking which this confers.
MLA is a distance learning company specialising in degree education in hydrography for professionals, sustainable maritime operations and meteorology/oceanography.
It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST). MLA is the parent company of the Hydrographic Academy.
Our Total learning platform is a proven, successful and flexible way of bringing the UK's leading maritime university to the workplace. Designed specifically to meet the needs of marine industry employers and individuals, we offer a unique way to study on a part-time basis whilst on-board ship, in the office, or at home.
Through this application students can reach the full suite of learning materials including videos, tutorials, assessments, transcripts and on-line library.
This app allows Marine Learning Alliance students to access and download their teaching and learning materials ensuring they can complete their studies anywhere in the world.
