Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →About the programme
The aim of the Master's degree program in Logistics is to provide sound logistical knowledge. The focus is on the development of skills to handle specific practical logistical problems and tasks. The wide range of subjects of the different logistics modules guarantees a comprehensive and practical deepening of the subject matter. This results in a variety of career opportunities later in typical logistics companies, industrial and commercial companies and companies of all kinds.
What you study
The study lasts three semesters and is divided into a total of seven modules. Each semester contains two core modules, which have an intensive teaching and training of the substance to the task. In the first semester, the focus is on logistics processes and logistics management. In the second semester intensive computer exercises are carried out on the computer and the specific knowledge for transport, handling and storage is worked out. In addition, the students learn in the 3rd and 6th module in the seminar to independently develop current topics and present them accordingly. Lectures and the two basic technical subjects bring additional variety and variations in the study. The whole thing is rounded off by excursions and practical contributions.
