BST Visit to HEU




Last week representatives from Brunei Shell Tankers were kind enough to come to the College to give a briefing to our students in our HEU Resource Room.

When they arrived at 1.30 pm, the Resource room was packed with our male students, mostly those taking Maths and Physics, showing much interest in what the officers and representatives from BST had to say.

On that day we learnt that the requirements to join BST under the Marine Cadet programme are

-Must be a Male, Bruneian Citizen.
-Must satisfy at least 120 UCAS points, i.e. minimum grade of ‘D’ and/or higher for A’ Level in numerical subjects such as Mathematics, Accounting and/or Physics.
-Must also satisfy the O’ Level minimum grades of at least ‘C’ and/or higher in English, Mathematics, Physics and/or Combined Science (with a Physical Science content).



Other than that, the students also learnt what life was like on a ship, what exactly did the job entail and how was the training and education like. More details can be found here or better yet, come visit us at HEU!

For the U6 leavers we have a couple of BST forms if you're interested, please see your counsellor to obtain one :)
