The programme offers a broad knowledge of Logistics and the supply chain, while it also educates students regarding the use of qualitative and quantitative research and analysis methods. Theoretical training and professional practice are combined, complementing each other, so that our postgraduate students will be able to listen to the pulse of the shipping industry, evaluate it and utilise it correctly.
