Logistics is the management of planning, structuring, and controlling the flows of goods and the information flows connected to them – in companies, but also between suppliers and customers within supply chains.
To be able to react appropriately to managerial questions in their professional life, students are taught specialist knowledge and skills in an interdisciplinary training in the following areas (percentage of total CPs):
Carrer Perspectives
With this degree students can choose from a wide variety of occupational fields in industry, commerce or logistics services. These are determined by competitors striving to minimize their stocks while increasing the availability of goods for their customers. Thus knowledge of technological solutions (also related to information technology) is gaining more and more importance. Professional newcomers often find a job in production planning, transportation management, but also in purchasing and procurement.
Programme Structure
Among the basics of economics, natural sciences, and engineering, the seven-semester-programme teaches specialist knowledge of logistics and transportation in international corporate networks. It aims at qualifying students for their profession in basic subjects, e.g. mathematics, physics, technical mechanics, logistical methods of analysing and planning, operations management, as well as transport logistics (semesters 1 to 3). Additionally, there are modular classes like material flow systems, technical logistics, supply chain management, international logistics, strategic purchasing, logistics services (semesters 4 to 6). Moreover, the programme includes two projects in industry and a 20-week internship plus seminar in the sixth semester. During the seventh semester, students complete their studies with classes on core competences, a bachelor’s seminar and their individual bachelor’s thesis.
