Programme profile


As a Logistics Management student, you learn to evaluate logistical processes, monitor performance, negotiate with external and internal partners, and optimise processes. Next to learning about logistical and supply chain processes, you have a clear view of operations within companies, which makes it easier for you to make connections and communicate with other departments. Additional focus will be put on topics as customs, trade law and e-commerce. The programme is a well-balanced mix of lectures and practice-based project work. Field visits will provide insights of the real-life work environment

Programme content


Year 1
Students of Logistics Management and Logistics Engineering follow a joint programme during the first three semesters. During this time, students are taught the basics of logistics, economics, statistic models and project management. Every semester is dedicated to a topic: (1) Warehousing and Materials Handling, (2) Distribution, (3) Production and (4) Integrated Logistics. Every semester will focus on a project dedicated to the semester topic. Additionally, you’ll get a feeling of what the main tasks of a logistician are through company visits. We will provide you with general business knowledge and relevant soft skills such as professionalism, teamwork, self-reflection, and communication.

Year 2
In the second academic year, you’ll expand on your knowledge. After the third semester, you’ll choose to specialise in either Logistics Management or Logistics Engineering. Your focus will be on lean management, meaning that you learn how to reduce operations that don’t add value to your processes. This results in higher productivity and lower process costs. You’ll also look at aspects of international trade. Your business knowledge enables you to set up performance measurement systems, and to monitor and optimise all steps in the logistics process.

Year 3
In the first semester of year 3, you’ll do an internship at a company of your choice. In the second semester of year 3, you deepen or broaden your knowledge in a specific theme in a minor programme. The minor programme provides you with the opportunity to acquire knowledge in a different field than your major or chose topics as Customs Management or E-Commerce to acquire more knowledge in Logistics. You can choose to do this minor at Fontys, at one of our partner universities in the Netherlands, or at one of our 125 partner universities abroad.

Year 4
The first semester of your final year is your last semester on campus. During this semester, the main focus of your classes and projects is on the field of Supply Chain Management. You learn how to work with suppliers in an effective way, to detect optimization in procurement and how to calculate the total supply chain costs. Your focus will be on the commercial and legal aspects of supply chain management as well as on intercultural aspects and supply chain collaboration.
