Falmouth Marine School is an excellent centre for learner study based in the South West of the UK and the approaches to the English Channel, thus allowing learners to undertake study within a major maritime commercial centre. With a strong global move towards the development of sources of renewable and sustainable energy our learners have the potential to engage with a wide range of sectors in being at the forefront of this change.

The program has a focus on the development of sustainability within the maritime sector allowing learners the opportunity to study a broad reach of marine industries with a focus upon the drive to develop environmental sustainability in meeting the challenges that are driving the pressures of global change upon the environment.

The industries of Cornwall have a focus on fishing and shipping; leisure and commerce, ports and harbours; rivers and estuaries; coastal defence and flood management.
