Supply Chain Management (B. Sc.)

Take a holistic view of appreciative networks and supply chains

The German logistics sector is booming. With a turnover of over 250 billion euro and around 3 million employees, it is Germany‘s third-largest economic sector. Due to their holistic and interdisciplinary education, supply chain managers find interesting employment fields in the areas of procurement, production, distribution as well as in the sales of industrial and trading companies. Moreover, logistics service providers, which are becoming increasingly involved in the value chain, offer a wide range of applications. The capabilities of a supply chain manager are also becoming increasingly important in the public sector. From the perspective of the current labor market, there is therefore a demand for well-trained supply chain managers.
