Alumni News
Harry graduated from the Warsash Marine Academy on Saturday 24 Jun 2017 after three years of study and sea-time as a Deck Officer. 

He intends to stay on at Southampton University to convert his Foundation degree in Maritime Operations to Full degree before serving as a Deck Officer within the merchant Navy. 

Harry also rows for Southampton University Coalporters Club.  Harry competes in single skulls, the double skulls with his Lithuanian international team mate, where they won the B finals, placing 7th in the country at the largest student regatta in Europe category MInt2x. 

The latest in his rowing exploits, he is the 2nd seat in the coxed fours competing in the Royal Henley Regatta this week; the first time since 1980 that Southampton University have qualified for the event.
