Scottish Professional Diploma in Marine Engineering

Scottish HND Professional Diploma in Marine Engineering
(SCQF 8 & 9)
Town Planning (SCQF 7/8)
About this course
The aim of the course is to provide a higher qualification that is recognised not only within the
marine industry but also by shore based employers. This is achieved by combining an HND in
Marine Engineering with a PDA in Marine Management and by the higher level of mathematics
studied. Successful completion of the course will give full exemptions to MCA examinations for
academic subjects at Class 2 and Class 1.
