CurriculumThe logistics programme offers a holistic overview of both national and international supply chains, including the material, financial, and information flows. All logistics students are advised to include the maritime logistics module as a valuable component of their academic journey. Importantly, students have the flexibility to concentrate on their specific areas of interest when considering the supplementary professional studies. Furthermore, practical training and thesis work play a crucial role in establishing a robust foundation for expertise in chosen subjects. These components provide a hands-on approach for students to dive into topics they wish to focus on. The programme is structured to not only accommodate but actively support individual goals, fostering a deep understanding of supply chain management and aiding students in the development of their expertise in the field.
Logistics is a very diverse field of education. Logistics engineers are employed in a number of different fields from different industries to public sector positions. There is a need for logistics experts. After graduation, some students will be employed directly in supervisory positions. Often, the tasks are planning or development tasks as well as expert tasks related to various functions, which then lead to managerial tasks or more demanding expert tasks.
Potential job titles include: logistics manager, logistics planner, transportation and warehousing manager, purchasing manager, purchaser, terminal manager, materials manager, material planner and transportation planner.

Logistics is everywhere and belongs to everyone´s daily life in one way or the other. The field is not very well known, even though it deals with matters that affect for example how milk is delivered fresh to the consumer, the frozen products icy to the supermarket freezer and fresh fruit to our dinner table.
