Transport management is a key aspect of modern logistics and plays a decisive role in global transport networks. Efficient transport processes are essential to ensure that goods arrive at the right place at the right time via the various transport routes of road, rail, water and air. Transport managers are sought-after specialists in industry, trade and logistics services. Studying Logistics and Transport Management at TU Darmstadt provides the necessary knowledge and expertise to plan, coordinate and optimise these complex processes.

Logistics and transport – the degree programme provides an understanding of the entire supply chain

As part of the Transport Management module at TU Darmstadt, students not only learn the basics of business administration in logistics and transport management, but also acquire in-depth knowledge of intermodal transport services and supply chain management as well as negotiation tactics relating to purchasing and logistics and soft skills in communication and leadership. The focus is on modern technologies and innovative business models as well as resource efficiency and sustainability. After all, the demands on a sustainable transport system are constantly increasing: global transport networks, limited infrastructure and climate targets require innovative solutions and interdisciplinary thinking.

Another focus of the Logistics and Transport Management degree programme is on understanding the entire value chain. Students analyse transport networks, develop strategies to minimise costs and emissions and can optionally learn how to use simulation software.
