The student experience – a STEM success story
“I have quite literally searched the world for an institution that offers this kind of tertiary education and from Australia to Europe I have been unsuccessful so thank you for your efforts! It's a huge step in the right direction!”
The student experience – a STEM success story
“The course syllabus looks great! Establishing the Hydrographic Academy is a great initiative!”
“It’s great to have all the materials to be able to access the lectures and notes as and when I have time. It’s very comprehensive, there are a lot of materials and it’s a great opportunity for me to be able to study like this.”
The student experience – a STEM success story
“The content is easy to navigate through and it is very impressive. I was thinking there may be some key areas where I would need some extra information but that wasn’t the case. I am very impressed with the course content and materials”
“The Hydrographic Academy has given me the chance to fill a gap in my CV and develop my theoretical knowledge whilst helping me to progress my career within the industry”
