Short Courses
The Greenwich Maritime Institute offer a series of courses that can be taken individually and contribute towards CPD or studied as taster courses for those who are interested in the subject area and would like to give a postgraduate degree a try before committing to the full programme. The credits can be accumulated and would be taken into consideration should a student wish to continue on to a full degree programme at a later date.
The courses are studied on a weekly basis and are alongside the degree programmes, so you would mix with those students who are studying for the MA or MBA degrees.
