About

Shape the future of logistics – sustainably, intelligently, and globally.

The Master of Science in Sustainable Logistic Solutions is designed for ambitious students who want to drive real impact in the transformation of transport and supply chains. In a world where efficiency, digitalization, and sustainability must go hand in hand, this program equips you with the skills to become a leader in next-generation logistics.

You will dive deep into the world of freight transport and logistics, exploring how goods can be moved smarter, faster, and with a significantly reduced environmental footprint. A strong focus on sustainable propulsion systems and autonomous technologies prepares you to work at the cutting edge of innovation – where mobility meets responsibility.

At the same time, you will develop powerful digital competencies. From artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to mobility data analysis and data visualization, you will learn how to turn complex data into clear, actionable insights. These skills enable you to optimize systems, predict trends, and make informed decisions in dynamic environments.

A unique highlight of the program is its strong integration with industry partners. Studying at the EUREF-Campus Düsseldorf, you will benefit from direct access to an innovation ecosystem where leading companies, start-ups, and research institutions collaborate on real-world energy, mobility, and sustainability projects. This close connection ensures hands-on experience, practical insights, and valuable networking opportunities throughout your studies.

But technology alone is not enough. This program also empowers you to think entrepreneurially – exploring innovative solutions and new business models that are reshaping the logistics and mobility sectors worldwide.

You will benefit from close interaction with leading experts such as Prof. Dr.-Ing. Schramm, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Noche, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wittowsky (University of Duisburg-Essen) and Prof. Dr. Heinen (TU Dortmund University).

The academic leadership of Prof. Dr. Ellen Enkel ensures a strong connection between research, industry, and innovation. As Chair of “General Business Administration and Mobility” at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Chair of the jury of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) research cluster, and spokesperson of the MOTION Institute, she brings outstanding expertise and a powerful network into the program.

Your advantage:
Graduate with a unique combination of technical, analytical, and entrepreneurial skills – enhanced by real-world industry exposure – and become a key player in building sustainable, data-driven logistics systems for the future.

Academics

The internationally oriented Master of Science in Sustainable Logistic Solutions is an engineering-based program that provides students with advanced knowledge and practical skills to address the complex challenges of modern logistics and transport systems. Rooted in cutting-edge research and closely aligned with current industry developments, the program covers key topics such as sustainable supply chains, smart intralogistics, artificial intelligence, logistics ecosystems, and infrastructure planning.

By combining disciplines such as engineering, business, economics, transport geography, and data science, the program offers a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to sustainable logistics. It equips students to analyze, design, and optimize logistics systems while considering environmental, economic, and technological factors.

All courses are taught in English and emphasize a strong balance between theoretical foundations and practical application. Through case studies, real-world projects, and industry collaboration, students gain hands-on experience and develop the ability to solve complex problems, even in uncertain and dynamic environments.

Program Structure

The Master’s program is structured over three full-time semesters and comprises a total of 90 ECTS credits. During the first two semesters, students complete the core curriculum, covering essential modules such as logistics ecosystems, sustainable supply chains, smart intralogistics systems, innovation and technology management, and logistics information systems. These modules are complemented by elective courses, allowing students to tailor their studies to individual interests, as well as project-based work that emphasizes real-world application and collaboration with industry partners.

The third semester is dedicated to the Master’s thesis and a scientific colloquium. This final phase enables students to apply their knowledge to a complex research or industry-related problem, demonstrating their ability to work independently and contribute to innovative solutions in the field of sustainable logistics.

Learning Objectives

Professional competence and knowledge:
Students acquire in-depth and specialized knowledge of logistics and transport systems, including supply chain design, sustainable infrastructure, and digital logistics technologies. They develop a strong interdisciplinary understanding by integrating engineering, economics, and data-driven approaches.

Skills:
Graduates are able to analyze and optimize complex logistics systems, apply advanced methods such as modeling, simulation, and artificial intelligence, and develop innovative, sustainable solutions. They learn to make informed decisions even in situations with incomplete or uncertain data.

Personal competence:
The program fosters leadership and teamwork skills, enabling students to manage projects and take responsibility in complex environments. Graduates are prepared to communicate effectively across disciplines, drive innovation, and consider the broader social, economic, and environmental impacts of their decisions.

Graduates are prepared to take on both technical and leadership roles in international logistics and mobility sectors – or to pursue further academic research at the doctoral level.
