Do You Want to Advance Your Expertise in Logistics?

The Master's Degree Programme in Logistics is intended for engineers who work in the managerial or design tasks of logistics or production and want to develop their expertise in logistics. Their motivation for studies is based on a genuine interest in developing personnel and organizations and in enhancing their own development competences and career progress.

Progress in Your Career and Develop Your Company

Development as an expert in logistics will open the way to new challenging tasks and career progress. After completing the Master's degree, you can develop the logistics operations of the entire organization and actively generate new competence. You will develop your workplace, in addition to developing your own know-how.

In the master's thesis, an integral part of the degree, you will apply your expertise to the needs of your workplace through an extensive development plan or project, such as the thesis ”The rationalization of transport contracts in a company”.

Networking and the exchange of expertise with student colleagues is also a major benefit of the education. The Master's degree also provides you with eligibility for public offices or positions requiring a second-cycle degree.
