The first year of the program introduces students to the fundamentals of operations, transport and logistics on the one side and draws attention to fundamental principles, methods, techniques and information tools necessary for the analysis, management and operation of supply chains on the other.

In the second year the students have the possibility to select two out of a set of five specialization areas: Decision Support Systems, Integrated Information Systems, Transport and Logistics, Transport Geography and Modelling, and Retail and Marketing. In the Seminar Course they will apply the concepts and methods in real world environments, and discuss recent issues in supply chain management such as, for example, supply chain finance, outsourcing/off-shoring, supply chain risks, green supply chains, disaster relief logistics with experts from the industry. A Research Seminar serves the purpose to support students in preparing and writing their thesis. Students gain hands-on experience in writing a publishable research article.
