Why choose this course?

The Technology (Maritime Operations) MSc was developed in partnership by the Royal Navy and Kingston University. The programme accredits the learning achieved during professional naval branch training.

 

It is open only to applications from people who have successfully completed at least one of the following courses:

• UK Royal Navy principal warfare officer (PWO) training course.
• Royal Australian Navy principal warfare officer (PWO) training course.

 

Kingston University is a recognised provider for the UK military Enhanced Learning Credit Scheme (ELC) and thus eligible candidates are welcome to partially fund their course in this way.

 

The Royal Australian Navy Education Branch provides financial support to some of its officers undertaking this award.

 

This course is undertaken in the workplace, with assignments based around your past and current work. There are no fixed dates for completing assignments, only a total time to complete the course. You will be supported by a supervisor who has extensive experience of working with the Royal Navy. Tutoring and advice may be provided face-to-face, via video conference, over the telephone or email exchange. The majority of credits for your masters degree will come from your prior completion of the principle warfare officer (PWO) course. You will gain the remaining credits through this MSc course by completing work-based assignments, an academic paper and a final reflective summary. You will have full access to online library and literature database resources. Every effort is made to accommodate your working patterns, where possible.

 

The application process is ongoing throughout the year, with four start points – August November, February and May – to provide flexibility. The course is targeted for completion within two years, and must be completed within four years.
