An intensive programme to become a specialist in just one year
In a single year, the programme provides comprehensive preparation to meet the present and future challenges of logistics by combining a solid technical foundation, a focus on innovation and sustainability, and real-world practical application.
1
First Semester: Fundamentals of Logistics Management
The first semester of the master's degree program provides solid training in the essential principles of logistics and operations management. This training block establishes the necessary foundation for critically understanding the challenges facing the sector and prepares students to confidently approach the more advanced scenarios covered in the second semester.
- Supply Chain Operations
The entire supply chain is examined, including flow planning and coordination between suppliers and customers. The course also covers multimodal transport and INCOTERMS, both of which are essential for understanding how different mobility options are combined in a globalized context.
- Inventory and Warehouse Management
We will analyze both traditional models and the latest practices aimed at optimizing resources, reducing costs, and ensuring product availability.
2
Second Semester: Innovation, Transformation, and Sustainability
This semester focuses on the future of logistics, emphasizing innovation and digitalization.
- Logistics 4.0, Technological Innovation and Practical Work in the Industry 4.0 Lab: The master's degree combines AI, data analytics and digitalization to anticipate demand and optimize processes. Students apply these tools in the laboratory by programming collaborative robots and automating logistics tasks.
- Project Management: Another fundamental area is project management applied to logistics, which provides students with the tools they need to coordinate teams, lead strategic initiatives and execute complex projects.
- School of Sustainability: At the same time, the program develops a comprehensive vision of sustainable logistics, aimed at reducing environmental impact and implementing responsible practices that address the challenges of the ecological transition.
- Master’s Thesis and Professional Internship: The master’s degree culminates with the Master’s Thesis (TFM), a practical or research project through which students rigorously demonstrate everything they have learned during the programme. It also includes a professional internship in companies — an opportunity to apply knowledge in a real-world setting, gain experience, enhance employability and build a professional network in a sector with high demand for specialists.
