From Foundations to Future: Your Supply Chain Journey
The full-time bachelor’s degree programme comprises a standard study period of six semesters. The curriculum includes a ‘mobility window’ in the 5th semester: a semester reserved for you to study abroad or undertake further modules with an applied focus as part of career development.
For the bachelor’s programmes, the total student workload for the courses is 180 ECTS credits.
A key element of this programme is the Career Development Semester, during which students work on an end-to-end applied project reflecting real challenges in supply chain and operations management. Students analyse a practical business problem, collect and interpret relevant operational data, and propose feasible supply chain or logistics solutions. This applied approach strengthens analytical thinking, teamwork, and professional skills, preparing students for real-world roles in global supply chain environments.
