Without functioning logistics, our world would be very different: it ensures that orders are delivered the next day, that global production chains function smoothly, and that inventory levels remain low. In our globalized, digitalized world, logistics management has become a fundamental success factor for companies. As a result, experts who can develop effective logistics concepts and utilize modern information technology are in demand in almost every industry.

The Bachelor's program in Logistics Management provides you with knowledge of both business administration and information technology. Case studies, logistics simulations, and project work, as well as excursions, company visits, and lectures by industry professionals, ensure a varied and practical course of study. You will gain international experience during your practical semester abroad.
