Transport and Supply Chain Management

Transport and Supply Chain Management programme focuses on the analysis of supply chains and transport networks, including the management of transport and stock in global networks and defining strategies for managing these networks. The programme furthermore focuses on policy aspects of managing supply chains and transport networks, including the impact of government regulation on transport networks. The Transport and Supply Chain Management programme aims to prepare students for a professional career in managing supply chains or transport networks. The course work is therefore strongly focused on quantitative data analysis and optimization of real-world problems using tools commonly used in the logistics industry, including Excel and Python.

Throughout the Transport and Supply Chain Management programme, course work consists of understanding and applying leading concepts and methods to challenging problems from the academic literature and practice. The mandatory courses ensure that students are technically proficient in the areas of data analytics, quantitative support for supply chain decision- making, transport economics and management, and in statistical analyses to support policy makers. The electives allow students to deepen their knowledge in specific areas in line with their interests, including for example sustainability, optimization, performance benchmarking, geographical information analysis, airline operations analysis or analysis of network structures.
