Your course content What you will learn
Almost everyone is talking about sustainability. This degree programme helps you to practice and promote sustainability in the sense of logistics. In this way, you contribute directly to the environmentally friendly use of a company's finite economic resources. You will also learn the difference between sustainable and green logistics, which are often equated.
Sustainable logistics is not just about moving goods and people from one place to another. Rather, it is the business processes of the logistics industry that will make tomorrow's world more sustainable. In concrete terms, this means creating a balance between the economic, ecological and social needs of people and the environment.
Green logistics, on the other hand, describes the efforts of the logistics industry to reduce, and if possible eliminate, the emission of pollutants to the environment through logistics processes such as freight transport. Due to the large number of transport processes, the logistics sector is known to be an industry with high CO₂ emissions and other pollutants. As an expert in green logistics processes, you could also ensure climate neutrality.
The degree programme combines industrial engineering with the know-how of logistics processes. In accordance with our CORE principle, you will learn many skills that are important for your career and profession. The Logistics B.Sc. programme focuses on the individual logistics functions within a company.

Flexibility at its best - Our bridge semester
In addition to the high-quality transfer of knowledge in teaching according to the CORE principle and thus in addition to the training of technical, social and methodical competence application, the personal development of the students is also important to our university. Therefore, we have now introduced the so-called bridging semester in order to offer a maximum of flexibility for exactly this personal development. How does this work and what are the requirements? Quite simply.
You have reached 150 CP in your Bachelor's degree program? Perfect. We now offer you two options:
- You continue your studies and graduate as soon as possible
- You take a semester break and use this time to find a job, do internships, get a taste of companies, learn languages, acquire cultural competencies or whatever enhances your skills. You do not have to pay any monthly fees for this semester. Of course, your studies will continue for one more semester.
You can use this bridging semester as a bridging semester at the earliest after reaching 150 CPs and at the earliest after finishing the 5th semester in terms of personal and professional development and remain enrolled. A fee is charged for this semester, but the last semester is then free of charge. The bridging semester is limited to one semester. You can indicate yourself if you have reached the required CP before the bridging semester.
The possibility to apply for a semester off remains. The bridging semester is a parallel existing attractive alternative.
