Ports are the gateways of global trade, and engineering them demands a rare command of marine forces, structures, and operations working in one of the harshest environments on earth. This program equips civil and marine engineers with the principles of port and harbour engineering, from coastal processes and breakwaters to berths, quays, and dredging.
As maritime trade grows and ports expand to handle ever-larger vessels, marine engineering expertise is a specialised and well-rewarded field. This course combines coastal and marine engineering with practical port design and introduces emerging trends in resilient and automated ports.
