Study Program Logistics, Infrastructure and Mobility, Master of Science

Nowadays, the efficient, on-time, and customer-oriented provision of goods, people, services, information, and funds is an important success factor in the manufacture of complex products in globally networked companies. Logistics experts control and shape the flows within and between companies. Logistics requires a functioning transport infrastructure, which is also a prerequisite for the mobility of people. Transport systems give people access to jobs and educational facilities as well as leisure and shopping facilities. The efficient and environmentally compatible mobility of people is therefore an important task for the future.

What characterizes this study program?

The interdisciplinary master's program in Logistics, Infrastructure, and Mobility is therefore oriented toward engineering science, provides the necessary economic knowledge, and enables students to deepen their knowledge in one of the two application areas, i.e. Production and Transport or Infrastructure and Mobility. For the first time, the syllabus combines the two promising but often separately planned topics of logistics and transport, thus opening up new career perspectives.

 

How is the program structured?

The interdisciplinary master's program in Logistics, Infrastructure, and Mobility is therefore oriented toward engineering science, provides the necessary economic knowledge, and enables students to deepen their knowledge in one of the two application areas, i.e. Production and Transport or Infrastructure and Mobility. For the first time, the syllabus combines the two promising but often separately planned topics of logistics and transport, thus opening up new career perspectives.

The study program is designed to meet the complex interactions and interdisciplinary requirements of the logistics and transport sector, but at the same time takes into account the specific requirements and also differences in the professional fields with its areas of application. The structure of the study program thus includes:

- Subject-specific compulsory subjects (for all students in the program), 36 LP
- Elective courses in two areas of specialization (students choose one of the two application areas Production and Logistics or Infrastructure and Mobility), 36 LP
- Compulsory elective subjects BWL/VWL, 6 LP
- Non-technical electives, 6 LP
- Project work, 6 LP
- Master thesis, 30 LP

This results in a total of 120 LP.

The third semester is intended as a potential time window for a stay abroad. The fourth semester is reserved exclusively for the master thesis. The workload per semester is 30 credit points.

What job can I take?

The target group of the Master's program are students who have either completed the Bachelor's program in Logistics and Mobility at the TUHH or, in the future, Engineering and Management - Major in Logistics and Mobility, or who have earned a Bachelor's degree with a logistics or transportation track at other universities and would like to qualify for a job in the following areas, for example:

- Research and development in the field of transport and logistics,
- strategic planning and transportation operations at logistics and transportation companies or transportation-intensive companies,
- strategic planning and day-to-day operations at transport companies and passenger transport authorities,
- Planning, construction and operation of transport infrastructure in municipalities and other public administrations as well as with infrastructure operators (e.g. ports or airport companies),
- Planning and consulting in engineering offices and consulting companies.

 

What are the requirements?

The prior knowledge required for the study program bases on the engineering science-oriented B.Sc. Logistics and Mobility at the TUHH. The qualification for this master's degree can usually also be achieved via a first degree in one of the following fields: Transport Engineering and Management, Mobility and Transport, Logistics, Transport Economics, Traffic Engineering, and, – with a related focus on Logistics and Transport, – Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Engineering. Professional experience or internships beyond the scope of the first degree program are not required for the LIM program.

How do I apply?

You can apply annually for the winter semester in the period from June 1st to July 15th and for the summer semester in the period from December 1st to January 15th.

Each of the master's degree courses at the TUHH has defined prior knowledge; in the application, you must prove that you have attained such prior knowledge. Your information must be verified in accordance with the module manual of your bachelor's degree or by other suitable documents, for example, a university certificate. You have to upload these documents as part of the online application. The responsible examination board will use this information to assess your suitability for the master's program. The subject-specific prior knowledge required for the master's program in Logistics Infrastructure and Mobility can be found here.

Please note that in the subject area Logistics and Mobility, a total of 30 European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) credits must be proven in order to apply for the program. You are not required to have 30 ECTS credits in each of these two areas of application (Logistics and Mobility); it suffices if you have prior knowledge either in logistics or in the transport sector; obviously, it suffices if you have prior knowledge in both areas  If in your bachelor's program you have taken less than 30 ECTS credits in the subject area of Logistics and Mobility but the subject of your bachelor's thesis is clearly related to this subject area of Logistics and Mobility, the scope of the bachelor's thesis can be included in proving the required 30 ECTS credits provided that you reach the minimum requirement of 30 ECTS credits when the combined effect of the subjects taken and the relevant thesis has been considered.

We conduct an online application procedure.

How is campus life?

The TU Hamburg is one of the youngest universities in Germany. On the clearly arranged and cozy campus you will quickly get to know your new fellow students and in spring and summer numerous seating areas and green spaces invite you to linger together in the fresh air. In an almost familiar atmosphere, we celebrate our summer festival every year in June, where our TU's own beer brewing group "Campusperle" also offers its creations. Of course, you can also get involved in our numerous AGs, which also organize regular events, e.g. screenings of the cinema AG, concerts of SingING or SymphonING or the participation of the HULKs in international robot soccer championships.

If you decide to study at TUHH, you also decide for Hamburg, the metropolis on the Elbe, Germany's second largest city and certainly its most beautiful. Hamburg combines urbanity and the maritime and is also Germany's greenest megacity. You'll never get bored here: rowing on the canals during the day or jogging in the city park, sunset on the Elbe, a concert in the Elbphilharmonie or a pub night on the Schanze and the fish market at dawn. Here you will find everything for the enterprising, but also numerous quiet places to pause. Together with your fellow students you will certainly explore Hamburg and its treasures quickly and get to know your new favorite place.
