Professional Development Units/Awards (PDUs/PDAs)

We provide a range of appropriate undergraduate/postgraduate programmes and Postgraduate Professional Development Units/Awards (PDUs/PDAs) for your personal development.

The MSc Shipping Operations course and the associated PDUs are delivered fully online for the convenience of mariners, while some other programmes are delivered by Blended Learning (ie, a concentrated period at Solent University before completing the remainder of the programme at sea or on leave). 

Postgraduate Professional Development Units/Awards are an ideal way to achieve professional and academic recognition for the courses of study you choose to undertake as part of your continuing development.

Credits/awards

Each PDU carries postgraduate academic credits and depending on how many units are chosen, the programme of study can culminate in:

  • university postgraduate credit points, or
  • a university Postgraduate Certificate of Professional Development, or
  • a university Postgraduate Diploma of Professional Development.

All PDU's are accredited by Solent University
