Women In Maritime: Launched in March 2021 to support International Women’s Day and to tackle gender inequalities in the sector, MLA College introduced its Women in Maritime Bursary scheme.
The bursary of £500, which comes in the form of a fee reduction, is available to all new female students enrolling on any of our maritime-related degree programmes.

I also have an interest in Maritime Law, borne out of the law module of my degree, and as a result, have recently been accepted into a graduate programme to study an LLB in Law, which has allowed me to go straight to year 2 of a 3-year degree.

This programme has given me the advantage to transition from the offshore side of the business and come onshore. It has also given me an edge to pursue my career towards a shore management position, so I would definitely say that it has given me a broader view of the maritime operations

This programme allows you to self-organise; there are no strict schedules of weekly classes, the modules are all pre-recorded and uploaded to the system so you can set your own pace without being overloaded with work.
