Logistics, B.A.
Logistics has developed rapidly, especially in recent years, and has created new offers for a global, networked economy. This change and the scientific discussion of the underlying concepts take up a large part of the curriculum of the degree program. Above all, the increased importance of information logistics, especially Internet use (eBusiness), is taken into account. Process-oriented thinking and the use of ERP systems for handling logistical processes are other current topics. Changes in internal logistics through integrated material flow systems are discussed in separate events.

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.

Exercises integrated in courses, the critical discussion of application examples in seminars and the reflection of what has been learned using case studies are therefore an essential part of the course. Project work, case studies and guest lectures should underpin the practical relevance of the teaching content and give the students the opportunity to check what they have learned for practicality.

If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
