Emphases/Curriculum:

After an initial overview of research methodology, students step directly into the world of transportation. The programme explores the basic aspects of different modes of transport - ground, air and water transport - and of their infrastructure providers. This is a business based programme that develops management skills through examining strategic management, operations management and management accounting and control. It provides students with a set of management tools and develops a broad understanding of the specific economic aspects of the transport industry. Students also learn to transfer these skills to the transport industry and develop their ability to work on a strategic as well as on an operational level. The use of quantitative methods and specialised business intelligence systems for solving specific industry problems rounds out this programme.

The effective combination of theory and practical applicability is an essential feature of the programme. With the help of case studies, practical exercises and project work, students shall be enabled to apply the theory and transfer it to real-life business situations.

The curriculum reflects the international orientation of the programme and focuses on international as well as intercultural aspects. Students benefit from the international experience of our professors and lecturers and are trained to meet the challenges of a global business world.
