Programme structure and content
After graduation, you’ll be well prepared for a career in logistics management as well as for a wide range of roles in public and private mobility. You could work on the planning, implementation, economic evaluation or optimisation of existing and new logistics processes and mobility concepts.
Whether you choose logistics or mobility, career opportunities range from planning, consulting and development to process optimisation – for example in sales, procurement, production or management. Companies are looking for skilled graduates like you!
In the first three semesters, you’ll gain a broad understanding of logistics systems, planning and smart solutions to real-world challenges. You’ll explore business administration, computer science and electrical engineering and learn how automation and identification systems are used in logistics.
In the fourth and fifth semesters, you can focus on what interests you most: logistics, technology or business. You’ll choose your specialisation and work with others on your own research or development project.
In the sixth semester, it’s time to gain practical experience: you can either complete an internship with a company or spend a semester abroad.
In the seventh semester, you’ll write your Bachelor’s thesis and complete your degree with a colloquium.
Practical experience or a semester abroad – the choice is yours
The sixth semester is all about gaining new experience: you can complete an internship and discover how logistics and mobility work in the real world. Or you can spend a semester abroad, gain new perspectives and improve your language and teamwork skills along the way. Either way, you’ll grow both professionally and personally – and boost your CV at the same time.
You’ll study entirely in English, preparing you for career opportunities around the world. And don’t worry if your English isn’t perfect yet – you’ll get plenty of support and naturally improve your language skills throughout your studies and by connecting with fellow students from all over the world.
