Logistics is more than the truck on the road - the new Bachelor

"Logistics has become a complex task at the interface between engineering and management," says Prof. Dr. Jörg von Garrel, head of the new Industrial Engineering and Logistics (B.Sc.) program at Mobile University. Companies need specialists with both mathematical, engineering and business management skills, who can plan, manage and control processes and even entire production systems, for example".

With the technological-business management degree program, Mobile University is responding to the increasing demand for experts in Germany's third-largest economic sector. The quality leader in the distance learning market thus enables professionals in the logistics industry to study flexibly with scientifically sound, subject-specific content and application-oriented knowledge. This enables students to design, control and implement complex logistics processes, systems and global production and information networks.

Study contents and fields of activity

The new degree program combines the fields of logistics, engineering, management as well as mathematics and natural sciences. With the specialization in the two directions "Logistics and IT (SAP)" and "Planning and Simulation", a personal profile formation is possible in addition to the comprehensive knowledge acquisition. The SRH Fernhochschule pursues an application-oriented approach so that graduates are able to work at the interface between technology and practice and to apply the knowledge acquired during their studies in practice. In addition to the professors with practical experience and various company visits, the practical and laboratory units are a special feature of the course. In the SAP lab and in visualization and simulation seminars, students learn to solve practical challenges, among other things.

For graduates of the Bachelor's degree programme in Industrial Engineering and Logistics (B.Sc.), a broad career field opens up in middle and higher positions in industrial companies, service providers and administration. Concrete tasks can be: production planning and control, process management and quality management at companies in various industries, as well as engineering at IT service providers. In this study program, students benefit from the cooperation with the logistics expert, the SRH University of Applied Sciences for Logistics and Business, and the SRH Fernhochschule as a quality leader in the field of distance learning.
