Presentation
The Master’s Degree in Logistics comes as a result of the observation of a shortage of courses in this training area, but also because it is a scientific area that is now becoming vital for the competitiveness of organisations in general in the current economic context. By definition, logistics is the management of the flow of goods, information and other resources, including energy and people, from a point of origin to a point of consumption, and involves the integration of information, transport, stock management, storage, order processing, handling materials and packaging. This is the management area responsible for the supply of the resources, equipment and information necessary for the operation of any organisation. The aim of this study cycle is to teach scientifically advanced theory and practical knowledge, which will enable the graduates to provide an exacting performance of the duties associated with logistics.
*Bachelor’s degree certified in accordance with ECBL Certification – European Certification Board of Logistics.
