Department of Port and Harbour Engineering

About the Department

Department of Port and Harbour Engineering was founded along with the establishment of MMU in 2002. It is one of the degree offering departments of Myanmar Maritime University to cover the students’ career-oriented training courses not only in the port engineering field but also in the coastal engineering field. The academic program of Department of Port and Harbour Engineering was started since 2002-2003 academic year. The first batch of Port and Harbour Engineering students have been graduated in 2007 April. The master degree program of Department of Port and Harbour Engineering has been opened since 2013-2014 academic year. This course aims to produce human resources of well competent professionals in planning, designing and constructing of ports and harbors facilities with modern technologies. To achieve above goals, the students have to learn totally 51 subjects (including 35 subjects for Port and Harbour Engineering and 16 subjects for general education) for five-year undergraduate program. There are total of 12 subjects in the one-year Postgraduate Diploma course which is for the graduates who wish to specialize in the field of Port and Harbour. The course is designed to present the wisdom of generations of Port and Harbour.
The total of 14 subjects have been learnt for two-year Master Degree program of Port and Harbor Engineering Department. The aim of this course program is to educate new generation of Port and Harbour Engineers with fundamental knowledge and state-of-the-art research skills to realize safer and more efficient maritime transport. The program encompasses Master Course. All subjects provided by the department are mainly intended to produce the human resources who have solid foundation in construction and industrial principles for Marine Structures such as port structures and coastal structures with theoretical and practical competent skills, moral and ethical. The department prepares graduates who have the motivation and ability for lifelong growth in their professional carriers.
