Approximately 90% of world trade is carried out by maritime transport. Logistics is of great importance for ensuring that this transportation process is conducted smoothly. Thanks to low-cost and fast solutions, freight rates are kept at the lowest possible level and the continuity of the supply chain is maintained. In this context, services related to maritime and port management, such as logistics, storage, customs and stowage, need to be planned and completed as a whole.

At this point, individuals who have received sufficient and comprehensive education play a key role.

The Maritime and Port Management Programme is a field that requires comprehensive education not only in line with the requirements of the logistics sector but also in the field of maritime studies. The associate degree programme offered within the university aims to contribute to the maritime sector through a curriculum designed to meet these sectoral needs and through academic staff who possess the necessary academic and sectoral experience in their fields.

University–Industry Cooperation
