A Career That Matters

Do you want to be part of a dynamic and growing industry? An industry that employs about 15,000 managers every year? The Bachelor’s degree programme in Supply Chain Management focuses on three main components: Business Administration, Engineering, and Information Technology.

Our Bachelor’s degree programme in Supply Chain Management gives students an introduction to all facets of logistics. The curriculum covers the different logistics functions found within companies, industry-specific requirements for logistics, and state-of-the-art logistic technologies.  

Objective

Students will learn to analyse, plan, and monitor all company-internal logistic processes while ensuring quality standards. They will be able to automate business processes through the specification, selection, and implementation of important information- and communication technologies. They will also acquire sound management skills that will allow them to structure and lead a modern logistics company. Additional important topics include:

• Elements of digitization: Courses in Informatics, E-Business, SAP, Programming, and IT
• Management skills and important entrepreneurial know-how: Seminars in Corporate Management, Human Resources Management and Organisation
• Personal development and soft skills: Courses in Self-Management, Presentation Techniques and Intercultural Competency.

Courses

Courses are held at the SRH campus in Hamm. The programme runs for 6 semesters, equivalent to a study period of three years. Each course intensively examines a practical topic over a five-week period. Students take a maximum of two subjects per 5-week block. Learning objectives, course content, and examinations are all aligned. Our competency-based examinations are taken at the end of each 5-week block (eight to nine times a year). This regular testing means that students are given continuous feedback on their performance and are freed from having to study for multiple examinations. Through this approach to teaching and learning, content can be conveyed very effectively – and be better retained. The 6th semester is the final, practical semester in which students write their Bachelor’s thesis while participating in an internship. The practical orientation of this final semester allows students to establish personal professional relationships at interesting companies and with future employers – an important step on the path to a successful career.

Graduates of this six-semester Bachelor’s degree programme in Supply Chain Management are conferred the academic title “Bachelor of Science”.
