The Master's programme is future-oriented and deals with the rapidly growing subject area of international flows of goods and services. During the study programme, topics are covered that deal with the technical design of logistics chains, management functions and the use of communication and information technologies, as well as social skills. Skills for shaping a logistics society that meets modern requirements with regard to individuality, sustainability and urbanity are learned. The programme is embedded in current research topics that deal with the development of international supply chains, the development of modern urban systems and the design of applications in the context of the future internet.

The interdisciplinary Master's programme offers the opportunity to study in a multicultural environment. Passing the Master's examination creates the prerequisite for either pursuing an academic career or starting a career in various sectors of industry, commerce or the service sector. For organising the Master's programme, catalogues have been formed from which students choose a number of courses corresponding to the credit points.

Language Skills

The language of instruction at the University of Duisburg-Essen is German (except in the English-language programs). Therefore, you must have good German language skills if you want to study successfully. The majority of foreign applicants must pass the "Deutsche Sprachprüfung für den Hochschulzugang" (DSH 2 level; with some exceptions) before beginning their studies.​

Applicants who have not acquired their study qualification at a German-speaking institution within the Federal Republic of Germany or at an equivalent institution abroad must provide evidence of German and English language skills corresponding to the agreed level B2 of the European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Study-accompanying internships

A compulsory internship in a company of at least 16 weeks (1 credit per week, maximum 16 credits) is planned for the study of Logistics Engineering and is credited in the interdisciplinary compulsory elective area or non-logistics module. Alternatively, the professional internship can be compensated by suitable courses with practical relevance from the compulsory elective catalogue. The non-logistics elective module can be partially replaced by at least four weeks of practical work experience in the field of logistics. An internship report of at least 5 pages (per month) is to be compiled on the practical work experience. The practical work experience should be completed before admission to the Master's thesis. The examination board decides on the proof of successful participation in the practical work experience.
