Logistics engineering Master (MSc)
Companies need logistics engineers with a complex vision. Go beyond system operations to shape and improve the increasingly complex logistics processes! If you are receptive to the technological and IT development of logistics, interested in future technologies, and in the design and construction problems of logistics systems, then you have come to the right place.
The aim of the study is to train logistics engineers, who can maintain and operate corporate logistics and goods transportation systems. They will know about modern supply chains and networks, their management and organizational basics as well as transport control processes and workflows. The program will introduce methodologies to work on complex logistics problems and to develop logistics machines and tools. Thus, they will be able to deal with complex systems modeling and optimization, understand operation and planning principles of corporate logistics systems, and utilize distribution networks and supply chains.

Specializations
Operation control specialization
The focus of the specialization is to transfer knowledge on the corporate logistics processes and systems, and to further strengthen the ability on logistics planning. The students will learn about the planning of material flows in intralogistics (transporting, loading, material handling, warehousing and order picking systems) and related planning of information flow systems and processes. They will also learn about the complex planning process of extralogistics networks, as the development of transport organization and control methods, corporate IT systems (ERP-s, decision supporting systems), logistics softwares and efficient methods of corporate logistics control (S&OP, supply and demand planning, production planning). The learning of these methods is followed by project oriented work.
Logistics automation specialization
The aim of the specialization is to present students required technological knowledge needed for the realization of physical logistics processes. They will acquire knowledge about planning and analysis of logistics machines, equipment, tools (material handling machines, transfer equipment, control and system components), industry robots, packaging machinery. Automatization and control of operational logistics systems, and application and development of logistics database handling systems will be highlighted. The courses cover thoroughly about intralogistics processes (robot technologies, automatic recognition systems, AI). Practical knowledge will be gained through industry specific machinery and in the university laboratories.
Freight forwarding management specialization
Student will acquire up-to-date knowledge in the fields of shipping and forwarding. Students will gain knowledge about methods of business, financial and accounting techniques in the fields of freight forward marketing and management. Graduates will be able to handle finances of material handling, storing and distributional businesses. They will learn about the business skills needed for service and system planning. The main focus of the specialization is on decision support methods, elaboration of practical case studies, which helps develop team work, problem solving and presentation skills.
