In an increasingly interconnected world, ports have become essential infrastructures for global trade and the world economy. At the same time, rising ocean temperatures, flooding and sea level rise are becoming increasingly common problems. Because of this, traditional port planning instruments are being modified, both in their conception and in their processing. For this reason, TECH has developed this 100% online syllabus, which includes a teaching staff made up of great experts with extensive experience in the sector. An unique opportunity for professional growth through a flexible, agile and simple teaching methodology. 

Benefit from the most innovative didactic content on port infrastructures! This program will allow you to incorporate the most advanced skills in your professional practice"

Port infrastructures have undergone a series of political, economic and social transformations, which have led to significant changes in their management. Therefore, expert planning of operations and services in ports has become essential. To this must be added the justified concern for effective safety and security, as well as for work that allows for a healthy interaction between cities and the marine environment. 

Therefore, professionals capable of analyzing the main and specific activities in ports are required. This postgraduate diploma focuses on Port Community and the different agents that integrate it, as well as on the control of the traffic operation procedures, such as the entry and exit of ships, or the assignment of their mooring and berthing positions. 

Likewise, another of the objectives of the qualification is to delve into the terms 'green port' and 'blue economy', or oceanic economy. For the engineer to keep up to date, it is important to understand the port activity cycle, from the design and execution of these infrastructures to their operation, including the optimization of water and energy consumption, waste collection and management, and the proper integration of ports in their natural and urban environment. 

Finally, the latest trends and best practices in port security will be analyzed, from risk assessment to the implementation of advanced security strategies. Students will have access to a very complete program on threats such as terrorism, piracy, cybersecurity or natural disasters. 

In short, this postgraduate diploma will provide the graduate with solid theoretical knowledge, as well as its application in real-world situations, through case studies and practical exercises. TECH provides students with Relearning, a revolutionary study method based on the reiteration of key concepts, thus guaranteeing the optimal integration of knowledge.
