Applications are now open for the Elevate Offshore MSc Hydrography Scholarship for the 2026/2027 academic year at the University of Plymouth.

The MSc Hydrography programme combines academic excellence with hands-on practical experience, equipping students with the technical expertise required for careers in offshore survey, marine geospatial data, offshore renewables and the wider marine sector. With strong industry partnerships and an internationally recognised reputation, the programme continues to produce graduates who are well prepared to meet the demands of the profession.

Now in its third year, the Elevate Offshore MSc Hydrography Scholarship reflects the company’s continued commitment to investing in the future of the hydrographic surveying profession. Open to UK Home students, the scholarship covers 100% of tuition fees for the MSc Hydrography programme beginning in September 2026, helping to remove financial barriers for talented individuals looking to pursue a career in the offshore industry.

In addition to full financial support, the successful applicant will benefit from one-to-one mentoring from Elevate Offshore’s experienced survey team. Throughout their studies, they will gain valuable insight into offshore survey operations, receive ongoing professional guidance and develop the knowledge and confidence needed to build a successful career in the sector.

As part of the scholarship, the recipient will also have opportunities to attend industry events alongside the Elevate Offshore team, enabling them to expand their professional network, engage with leading figures across the sector and build connections that can support their future career.

The scholarship was established to help talented graduates take the next step into the offshore industry while strengthening the pipeline of skilled hydrographic surveyors. Since its launch, it has already helped aspiring professionals turn their ambitions into reality.

The scholarship’s first recipient, Elyar Schaeper, has since secured his first offshore role with Reach Subsea. Current recipient Tirren Ambroziak is completing her dissertation and already has a graduate position waiting for her after graduation. Their success highlights the impact that the right support, mentoring and industry exposure can have in helping talented individuals launch rewarding careers.

Prospective students planning to join the MSc Hydrography programme at the University of Plymouth in 2026 are encouraged to apply while applications remain open.
