The course aims to equip participants with key skills and knowledge required to perform effectively in an international transport environment; to understand the importance of a correct transport management for international trade; to analyse the modes of transport (marine, air, road, train, and multimodal) and their characteristics; to know how to calculate the transport costs of an export or import; to analyse the factors to be considered when selecting a mode of transport and when choosing a transport company. Besides, to supplement the more traditional lecture format, students will also be challenged with team projects and group discussions related to transportation management.
