Our aim is to train business professionals who, equipped with the appropriate tools and methods, can oversee and plan integrated corporate logistics systems as well as supply chains that span across companies. The focus of our master's programme is on digitalisation, based on business intelligence and data analysis in the field of supply chain management. We intend to achieve the integration and the development of skills and abilities through logistics simulations and practical exercises, along with the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge through real case studies. In order to accomplish the above-mentioned goals, we also encourage independent learning through a tutor-based instructor-student collaboration. As an applied university, applied research plays a significant role in our activities; hence, we aim to involve our students in our research-related to topics on supply chain management.
In our master's programme, we consider it crucial to impart both theoretical and practical knowledge based on the latest practical trends. This knowledge should make our students competent in decision-making, creating structures, and in evaluating performance in a real business environment. By possessing the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills, students become capable of handling complex logistical service tasks, planning, analysing, and developing intra- and inter-company logistics processes and projects, managing them in domestic, international, and multicultural environments.

Our master's programme blends high-level theoretical knowledge with a practice-oriented knowledge base built on our corporate relationships. As a result, our well-rounded students, armed with versatile knowledge, can, after graduation, successfully apply for any position involving various aspects of logistics. Their acquired knowledge provides a solid foundation and sufficient expertise for both entry-level positions as well as adapting to new methods, procedures, and techniques in the future. The mindset they acquire may help them receive managerial positions in this specific field.
Market feedback indicates that there is demand for the expertise of supply chain managers in small-, medium-sized and large enterprises, as well as at multinational companies operating in the production and service sectors. With a sufficient level of proficiency in foreign languages, they have wide-ranging opportunities for their employment both regionally and nationally.
