MSc' Learning Outcomes
The MSc Program in Sustainable Blue Economy encompasses the spirit of engaging as individuals and collectively towards the improvement of life on Earth. It offers the post-graduate educational specialization necessary for meeting the challenge of providing scientific expertise in the field of marine resources utilization for the benefit of present and future generations. Its content addresses the sustainable management of a wide range of interlinked established and emerging marine industrial sectors that ultimately comprise the Blue Economy, from shipping, coastal and marine tourism, and fishing to seabed mining for metals and rare earth elements, energy systems and marine biotechnology.
The course offers also certified training in management systems by internationally accredited training agencies, which gives to its graduates a unique and competitive advantage.
This course is a fundamental driving force towards fulfilling the unfolding commitments at the global and European scale for the sustainable growth of all economic activities related to oceans, seas, and coasts.
On completion of this course, graduates will have a deep knowledge on the objectives and feasibility of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), the sustainable blue economy sectors, the current and emerging alternative marine fuel and energy systems. They will know how to apply an environmental port management. They will be able to understand the value of the Ocean, the importance of the marine spatial planning (MSP), the need to improve the environmental performance of shipping, the institutional framework of sustainability. They will be able to apply the ecosystem services methodology and to identify the types of marine pollutants. They will be familiar with marine governance issues, remote sensing, and geographical information systems (G.I.S.).
Graduates will be well equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools to embark confidently on an academic or professional career related to the global issue of a sustainable blue economy anywhere in the world. The Master’s Program in Sustainable Blue Economy creates new jobs profiles and more chances for blue jobs’ opportunities.
