3 KLU is different. I instantly fell in love with this place. It is a wonderful little family where everyone knows each other. Teaching is not a top-down frontal approach but interactive, and the lesson plans and teaching contents are adapted to the interests of each individual class. COURSE STRUCTURE Starting in September each year, you can complete our MSc Global Logistics & SCM program in either 4 semesters (standard track) or 3 semesters (fast track). The standard track leads to 120 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), while the fast track encompasses 90 ECTS. On both tracks, the first semester provides you with a solid foundation and prepares you for specializing in the semesters that follow. Depending on your interests, you can customize your studies with a variety of elective courses, for example, in humanitarian, maritime or sustainable logistics. INTERNSHIP & SEMESTER ABROAD At the end of the second semester, all KLU students do a summer internship at a company of their choice. Our Career Development office will help you decide which industry suits you best and prepare you for your internship. To complement KLU s international study environment, students on the standard track spend their third semester Katharina Matz, Student MSc Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Class of 2017 The variety of subjects, the team projects, the extracurricular activities, and the diversity of students I study with make this program as different as it is challenging.

There is always something going on here. To study at KLU means to connect with people from all over the world. Come with an open mind and without any prejudices you will not be disappointed! Ruben Gomez, Student MSc Global Logistics & Supply Chain Management, Class of 2017 at one of KLU s partner universities in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia or the Americas. Students can decide to spend their third semester at KLU. This is possible when, for example, students have already studied outside of Germany for a substantial amount of time (e.g. the first degree is from abroad) and when they fulfil other KLU specific criteria.
