SECCM (Accredited by Supreme Council of Universities-Egypt) The program was established with the participation of four European countries (Italy - Greece - Lithuania - Slovenia) and four Egyptian universities (Alexandria University - Suez Canal University - South Valley University - Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport) The program is provided in Two Years This program is unique and distinguished, as it combines natural and applied sciences curricula to study climate changes, their causes and effects, and how to deal with and adapt to them. The program also works to qualify graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to take on job jobs associated with local, regional and international efforts to deal with climate change, which is one of the greatest current challenges of modern societies. The Master of Smart Management of Environment and Climate Change program, is looking to be at the forefront of programs in preparing students to manage climate changes in the local, regional and international environmental, research and industrial sectors. The graduate will meet the need of the growing labor market in Egypt, the Arab countries and Europe due to the fact that there are joint European universities in teaching the program, and that this specialization is a unique study in the middle east region as general.
The program of Environmental and Climate Change Management: Introduction to Climate Change - Meteorology and Climate Observation - Marine Resources and Sustainability - Environment Risk Assessment and Management- Climate Change Management- Numerical Modelling and tools - GIS and Remote Sensing - Data Analysis and Processing - Research Methodology - Master’s Thesis
Expected Outputs:
1. Qualifying a number of graduates capable of facing the challenges imposed by climate change, especially in the fields of simulating future climates, modeling, and developing mitigation and adaptation strategies.
2. Cooperating with industry in the fields of climate change, qualifying graduates, and creating job opportunities for them.
3. Increasing self-support for the Faculty of Science, Alexandria University
4. Raising the efficiency of bodies concerned with climate change by providing them with qualified graduates.
General framework of the program:
This program is unique and distinctive as it combines natural and applied science curricula to study climate change, its causes and effects, and how to deal with and adapt to it. The program also works to qualify graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to assume work positions related to local, regional and international efforts to deal with climate change, which is considered one of the greatest current challenges for modern societies.
Program Vision:
The Master’s Program in Smart Environmental Management of Climate Change aspires to be at the forefront of programs in preparing cadres to manage climate change in the local, regional and international environmental, research and industrial sectors.
Program Mission:
The Institute of Maritime Postgraduate Studies seeks to qualify graduates of the Master of Smart Environmental Management of Climate Change to be able to compete at the local and regional levels. This is done by creating a university environment suitable for a graduate who is distinguished morally, scientifically and professionally in this field to serve the community and its institutions that are closely linked to sustainable development plans.
