About the programme

International Logistics and Management is a Master of Science (M.Sc.) at HAW Hamburg on the Berliner Tor campus, taught in German and English. It takes 3 full-time semesters and starts in the winter semester. Building on a logistics-focused first degree, it shifts your focus from operational issues to strategy and management. There are two focal areas. International Logistics covers planning and managing international production and supply networks and transport logistics, with process optimisation seen from engineering and IT angles. International Management covers organisational, HR and intercultural questions in international cooperation, plus economics and management accounting. The third semester is your Master's thesis. Lecturers have at least five years of industry experience. Requirements include a 210-credit degree in business, economics or a related field, at least 8 credits in logistics, and English at B2. With a 180-credit Bachelor's you must make up 30 more credits to enrol fully.

Specialization

The course has two overall focal areas: International Logistics International Management International Logistics revolves around interdisciplinary approaches to planning and managing international production and supply networks or international transport logistics processes. Process optimisation, which is at the heart of international logistics networks, forms the topic of two interdisciplinary modules which additionally give students a view of logistics from an engineering and IT perspective. A module on management and logistics links these two areas. International Management explores organisational, HR and intercultural issues against the backdrop of international cooperation across all value creation stages. Complementing these foci, modules on economics and management accounting examine these key processes in internationally active businesses.
