Logistics and Supply Chain Management

The programme has a multidisciplinary approach to the design, planning and management of sustainable supply chains and logistics strategies, networks, processes and systems and each course brings in aspects of sustainability and circular economy. Many of our teachers are internationally acclaimed researchers who provide students with comprehensive knowledge and pragmatic skills and abilities. Students learn both quantitative and qualitative problem-solving techniques, applied through case studies, project work, business games and simulations.

An analytical mindset and capability to make calculations is needed to develop fact-based recommendations. The programme gives the student solid theoretical knowledge and “hands-on” practical experience through many guest lectures, company visits and assignments in collaboration with industry. Each course brings in aspects of sustainability and circular economy and one course is fully dedicated to sustainable and circular supply chain management, as this knowledge is cruicial in order to achieve a clean, fair and unwasteful supply chain.

During the master thesis project, the students work independently applying their skills and solving problems related to logistics and supply chain management, often in collaboration with a company. The thesis project gives experience and valuable contacts that helps to open up to the job market. After graduation, our students will have mastered functionally-oriented problems and they have the ability to work cross-functionally and inter-organizationally.
