Master's Degree in Strategic Management in Logistics (Campus)

The Strategic Management in Logistics Master's Program provides advanced learning in the operation of global transportation, distribution, inventory, procurement and supply chain management. Students will also examine how logistics business practices can be managed with the support of IT, infrastructure and personnel development in an increasingly digitized economy.

The course is led by experienced lecturers who provide students with an inside knowledge of the industry's current practices. As with all programs offered at bbw Hochschule - University of Applied Sciences, the course content has been co-developed by academic councils made up of professionals from industrial associations and companies active in the logistics profession.

Their ongoing input into the course ensures students graduate with the knowledge and skills they need for immediate placement at some of the world's top logistics firms. Logistics and Supply Chain Management is still a relatively new field of study with significant job opportunities as companies recognize the potential savings to be made via good procurement strategies.
