About the programme

The MBA in Leadership and Supply Chain Management at Kuhne Logistics University (KLU) is an English-taught programme for working professionals who want a rigorous MBA without a career break. It takes 18 months, with 4-day block seminars from Friday to Monday, and includes 2 international study trips. Supply chains are where challenges such as technological disruption, sustainability pressure and geopolitical shifts meet, and the programme builds the leadership skills and operations mindset to lead through that uncertainty. By the end you can make strategic decisions under real constraints, turn strategy into execution across global supply chains, lead transformation involving people, processes and technology, and build digitalisation and sustainability into core business decisions. It suits leaders in or moving into operations, supply chain, procurement, logistics or transformation roles, general managers, and professionals aiming for senior or C-level responsibility.
