International Business and Logistics

Why International Business and Logistics?

International Business and Logistics (IBL) is our newest programme and our first students started their studies in August 2008. In autumn 2012 we will launch our first IBL degree programme for adults with diversified and flexible learning methods and possibility to study while working.

Today Business in global. Logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources and is one essential area of the modern business world. This programme gives you good hands-on knowledge and the ability to work in international logistics.

International Business and Logistics has 35 study places and new groups start annually at the end of August.

Content and methodology

You will study marketing, management, trade and business law, economics and ICT to get a comprehensive understanding of international business principles. Since this programme concentrates on logistics in international business you will be studying subjects such as purchasing, logistics management, supply chain management and project management.

After instruction in fundamental business subjects, you will get the opportunity to apply these in an integrated manner, covering both strategic and operational management areas. You will develop critical thinking and rational reasoning. This encompasses generic business competencies including quality control and the incorporation of environmental and ethical factors.

High quality contact teaching, native teachers, personal, friendly, yet demanding – and all this in a real international atmosphere – we can offer you more than others. We encourage students to do their work placement abroad and/or go on study exchange abroad and we offer lots of opportunities for that.

Studies are done in three week intensive modules that enable working and stuyding. Modules will be taught on Tuesday evenings (17-21) and Saturdays (9-16). Please check the full module timetable below in the link.
