Offered by University of Jordan, Jordan
The MSc in Blue Economy and Coastal Sustainability at the University of Jordan Aqaba is designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities presented by Jordan’s limited but strategic coastline along the Gulf of Aqaba. This pioneering program equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. By focusing on sustainable practices in industries such as maritime trade, tourism, and aquaculture, students will learn how to maximize economic potential while protecting marine ecosystems. The program is closely aligned with Jordan’s national efforts, including the establishment of the Aqaba Marine Reserve (AMR), a globally recognized marine protected area.
At the University of Jordan Aqaba, the MSc program aligns with our commitment to fostering sustainable development and environmental protection. The program enhances the university’s role in shaping the future of Jordan’s blue economy, providing students with access to cutting-edge research and practical tools to manage marine and coastal resources. This program is vital to ensuring that the economic activities in Aqaba, Jordan’s sole sea gateway, are balanced with the need to preserve marine biodiversity and ecosystem health.
The MSc in Blue Economy and Coastal Sustainability plays a critical role in supporting Jordan’s national development goals, particularly in relation to the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources. As Jordan’s coastline faces growing pressures from maritime trade, tourism, and urbanization, this program will equip a new generation of professionals to manage these demands while ensuring the conservation of marine environments. Graduates will contribute to the sustainable development of Aqaba as a center for commerce, leisure, and conservation, reinforcing Jordan’s position as a leader in the Mediterranean and Red Sea regions.
“This program is essential for equipping the next generation with the tools to manage Jordan’s unique coastal resources sustainably. By balancing economic growth with environmental protection, we are securing the future of both Aqaba and Jordan’s national interests.” Prof. Dr. Mohammad Zibdeh – Professor of Marine Bio Resources and Aquatic Environment, The University of Jordan, Aqaba, Jordan
