Why Need for a Degree?

While the HND graduates can enroll into a degree program after HND, and

complete that in 1 year, it is only available at UK universities. Many students

would find it unaffordable because of a high “opportunity cost” due to lost

income, higher tuition fee and high cost of living in the UK.And, without a

university degree HND graduates are unable to strengthen their scholastic

and social aspirations since they will be unable to progress into Post

Graduate studies or undertake PhD Research.

B.Sc. Ship Operations Management

AMET University has come up with and innovative idea of providing a

Bachelor degree Certificate program for the candidate holding HND Nautical

Science or HND Mechanical/ Marine Engineering certificate. It will be a one

year study that leads to the BSc degree in Ship Operation Management

exclusively conducted by this University. Candidate can join the course,

either after completion of HND Nautical Science and/or while employed. Its

like “Learn while you Earn”

This is similar to one year top-up course like the other BSc program, but with

specialization in the areas of Ship Operations Management. Senior Deck or

Marine Engineering Officers could also enroll into this top-up program.

The Uniqueness of this course is in its student centeredness, flexibility and

affordability. This course is conducted as a part time one year online

program and facilitating learning through electronic media. Students can

enroll into this course by online registration and paying the required fee.

The BSc curricula follow the HND Nautical Science or HND Marine

Engineering curricula in the 1 and 2 year of the program. The year 3 is

designed as an advanced level study, which will help the HND graduates to

expand their career scope in maritime industry as mid-level managers. This

program could also be attractive for Master, Chief Engineer, Chief Mate, 2nd

Engineer, 2nd Officer and Class 4 Engineer who aspire to become a

university graduate.
