Annotation
Is there a better location to study Logistics? Probably not, because Frankfurt am Main not only has the largest cargo airport in Europe, but also Europe’s largest motorway junction and the world’s largest internet hub. In addition, the Rhine-Main metropolis is located on the European Italy-BeNeLux railway corridor and on the only navigable waterway linking the north and south. As part of this Master's degree course, which uniquely combines the topics of logistics, transport and foreign trade and is based on a broad IT foundation, you will make use of this special location and will, among other things, maintain close contact with the House of Logistics & Mobility (HOLM), which is the only one of its kind in the world. Under consideration of current topics and research findings, you will reflect in depth on course content and discuss it in a practice-oriented manner with logistics experts from renowned companies – not in lecture-style classes, but largely in project work by and with companies.
Your prospects will be diverse: management tasks in logistics, road freight, rail and air transport or shipping companies are equally as conceivable as a high-profile position in infrastructure companies (airports or ports) or in a consulting company.

Admission to the degree programme with a three-semester standard period of study takes place in the winter semester.
