Is B.Sc nautical science necessary to join merchant navy? Can I join merchant navy after doing B.Sc in physics?

Entry requirements: You can join the merchant navy from age 16 as an officer cadet or as an apprentice able seafarer (deck). You'll need at least 4 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 (A* to C), including English, maths and physics (or combined Science) or equivalent qualifications. If you have A levels or equivalent, in maths or Science, you could do an industry-backed HND, foundation degree, or degree. Subjects include nautical Science, and navigation and maritime Science. If you already have a degree, you'll usually be able to join a graduate programme and train as an officer in a shorter time. You'll need to pass a medical exam which will include a physical fitness and eyesight test. You'll usually need a maritime sponsoring company to put you through initial training.
