Logistics Engineering

Are you curious about how the package delivery driver is able to deliver your new phone so quickly? You will discover the reason during the degree programme Logistics Engineering, where you will learn everything there is to know about management and logistics at companies and organisations.

Order today, delivered tomorrow. It seems simple, but the process behind it is complex. How is it possible that your new sneakers are delivered to your house so quickly, even though they are coming from the other side of the world? Every day, large companies such as bol.com, DHL and Amazon are faced with the challenge to deliver their products to their customers on time. And because of new techniques and methods, companies are constantly dealing with their logistics process. Think of self-driving trucks, drones that deliver products to your doorstep or robots in the warehouse.

Logistics is everywhere, regardless of whether you are dealing with products, events, information or people. During the four-year degree programme of Logistics Engineering, you will learn to analyse, improve, plan or (re)design these processes in companies and organisations. You will immediately apply a lot of what you have learnt in practice through internships and projects. This degree programme offers excellent job prospects: employers in the Netherlands and abroad are eager to have logistics management talents. This degree programme is offered in Dutch and English. If you choose the English-taught programme, you will take classes with students from all over the world.

Specialisations

• Supply Chain Management. As supply chain manager, you plan, coordinate and monitor the flow (supply chain) of products and services from supplier to customer. In this specialisation, you will learn how to streamline this process by means of proper product planning, transportation, orders, a company’s inventory and storage.
• Maritime Logistics Management. As maritime logistics manager, you coordinate the flow of goods at the port, for example. You will check if transport has gone as planned, but you also need to organise storage. Your focus is on cargo that is shipped by sea or water, but you will also study the organisation of new port facilities, terminals and wharfs.
