Content of studies

Get further with SCM

Bachelor level Logistics Engineering  & Business Logistics programmes meet the demands of logistics’ fast developing international business environment by producing wide-ranging supply chain management (SCM) skills. Supply chain skills consists of the basic studies of business and vocational logistics studies.

The common working life skills, including learning skills, ethical skills, work community skills, innovation skills and international skills, are an essential part of the education in both core and complementary studies.

During the studies the modules consisting of thematic unities generate in the beginning of the studies basic supply chain skills which will later be widened and deepened creating SCM skills.

The focus of the studies is logistics IT skills. Digital data management and services, innovation and entrepreneurship skills are integrated in the studies. The student can choose the complementary studies either in Finnish logistics programme or in English logistics programme. By choosing the optional complementary studies the student can focus on digital data management and services or innovation and entrepreneurship.
