This Master of Science prepares students to become logistics professionals who combine in-depth subject knowledge with hands-on IT skills and an international outlook. The curriculum is designed around the competencies that employers expect: managing complex supply chains, operating logistics IT systems, and understanding cross-border trade dynamics.
The course is organised into clearly defined, industry-oriented pillars so you gain both theoretical insight and practical capabilities. You will work on research-focused seminars in logistics and transport economics and complete a substantial Master’s thesis that consolidates your learning and research skills.
Taught in English, the programme places particular emphasis on IT applications widely used in the sector (for example SAP ERP and SAP SCM) alongside intralogistics systems, giving you technical fluency as well as strategic knowledge relevant to global trade and supply chain roles.

You should hold a bachelor's-level degree with a clear focus on logistics, foreign trade, production or supply chain management. Degrees awarded under other credit systems will be assessed for equivalence to the ECTS requirement. If your prior studies meet the minimum credit threshold exactly (180 ECTS), you will be required to complete an additional Practice‑Transfer Project module as part of the Master's curriculum.
The programme also requires demonstrable subject-specific coursework: your undergraduate transcript must show that you completed modules in at least one of the specified areas and that those modules total at least 30 ECTS. You will need to submit evidence of this coursework and of your overall credit total. Finally, proof of English language proficiency is required — consult the programme’s admissions page for accepted tests and score levels.

Graduates are prepared for operational and managerial roles in logistics, supply chain management, freight forwarding, and international trade. Typical positions include supply chain analyst, logistics coordinator/manager, operations manager, transport planner, and IT/ERP consultant for logistics systems (especially positions requiring SAP knowledge).
The combination of practical IT skills, industry-oriented modules and research experience also suits careers in consulting, logistics service providers, manufacturing and retail firms with global supply chains. While the programme does not offer an integrated PhD track, the research components and thesis can provide a foundation for further academic study if desired.
