I really enjoyed the programme and greatly benefited from its comprehensive integration of theory and practice. The curriculum covers a wide spectrum of knowledge and skills in the maritime transport and logistics industry.
As well as attending fruitful lectures by world-class professors and industry leaders, students have the chance to interact and collaborate in a culturally diverse environment at the heart of an international shipping centre. This broadens students’ horizons and prepares them for career success. Chen Fuguo Ray |  |
 | This programme covers a wide range of topics, such as port management, airlines and shipping, and its curriculum and teaching methods are rational and scientific.
I gained a comprehensive understanding of the transport industry, including supply chains and related legal and financial issues. This gave me the perfect foundation for further academic study. Lectures by professors and industry leaders also guided me to explore my research interests in more depth.
In sum, this brilliant programme enhanced my knowledge and skills and inspired me to pursue further research on the transport industry. HU Zhongling |
