Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

One Programme - Two Tracks!

1. Logistics and Supply Chain Management
2. Digital Procurement

The curriculum of the master programme in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) emphasises analytical problem solving, leadership, and communication skills.

Students must complete core and elective coursework, a Master’s thesis, and participate in the Independent Activities Period (IAP) in Boston in January.

The programme offers two career tracks to choose from.

The Track in Logistics and Supply Chain Management prepares students for a future career in operations management and logistics. The track partners students with logistics and supply chain divisions of local partner companies for their thesis project.
The Track in Digital Procurement aims at preparing students for operational as well as strategic roles in modern procurement organizations as well as empowering students to lead the digital transformation. The track partners students with procurement organizations of large multinational companies to work on a joint research project.
