Get ready to turn port entities into Green Ports and focus on environmental sustainability thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate"

In recent years, an increase in adverse meteorological phenomena has been detected, as well as an increase in the temperature of the oceans or the rise of sea level. This has meant that traditional port planning instruments are being modernized in response to climate change. From the design of port spaces to their interaction with cities and the marine environment, they are undergoing a process of transformation in order to achieve efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Based on the importance of meeting the objectives of environmental sustainability, TECH launches this program that aims to boost the career of engineers who wish to delve into this sector of vital importance in the development of port infrastructures. In this program, the graduate will address all the necessary requirements to convert a port entity into a Green Port.

Aspects such as the design and execution of infrastructures or the proper integration of ports in their natural and urban environment will be addressed. Students will also delve into the concept of blue or oceanic economy. In this way, the future professional will have a complete vision according to the maximum regulatory requirements in this regard and its main differences in each territory.

During the educational course, the professional will become an expert in relevant aspects such as the environmental assessment and planning of port infrastructures. In addition, due to the demanding demand for process improvement in the sector, the plan presents BIM technological innovations applied to ports or the evaluation of profitability using the MEIPORT methodology.

A 100% online program that allows the student to take it comfortably, wherever and whenever he/she wants. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
