Program overview

What Kühne Logistics University says about their program:

You’re either already a dyed-in-the-wool supply chain fan or at least intrigued by the idea of being the mastermind behind an invisible global flow of material and goods? Then KLU’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is the right program for you. And with the profile “Supply Chain Management” you’ll gain the knowledge needed to prepare you for a career in one of the most relevant and important industries there is.

Supply Chain Managers (SCMs) play a vital role in ensuring that the products we use every day – whether electric toothbrushes, smartphones, or cars – reach us without any snags. They’re who coordinate the entire process, from sourcing materials to storage and final delivery, all while keeping sustainability in focus. Whether it’s reducing carbon emissions or cutting waste, SCMs are the ones who make it happen. But that’s not all – supply chain managers also adapt to cutting-edge technologies like the Internet of Things, which connects objects and allows them to exchange data in real-time. This creates tremendous opportunities for efficiency and better decision-making, helping companies stay ahead of the competition.
