The MSc® International Logistics and Port Management aims to equip students with skills in all roles linked to the overall management of logistics flows, to organising international transport and to managing transport hub facilities such as port terminals.

Our teaching approach integrates theoretical modules with multiple implementations situations (serious games, business challenges, field visits,…) which prepare students to make strategic decisions as a team, considering the constraints that may impact performance organisation. This dynamic programme allows students to appreciate the role of technology and emerging innovations within the logistics field.
