Interested in a career at sea? The Warsash Maritime School careers in maritime open days give you an insight into what a career in the maritime industry has to offer, and the training programmes to qualify as a ship’s deck, engineer or electro-technical officer in the Merchant Navy and on superyachts.

You can discover, and maybe even try out amazing maritime facilities, including bridge simulators. You’ll also be able to talk to and ask questions of course leaders, members of staff from Clyde Marine Training and, just as importantly, current cadets about studying at Solent, as well as our accommodation, admissions and Student Hub teams.

For anyone who can’t attend an on-campus open day, or would feel more comfortable learning about Solent from home, virtual open days are also available – Maritime open days | Open days | Warsash Maritime (solent.ac.uk).
