Courses (valid Examination regulations 2020)

Starting with the winter semester 2018/19, new specialization modules in the department will come into effect. If you are still in one of the old specialization modules and have not yet completed it, you can register for the new modules. Exams that you have successfully completed will be credited to you in the new modules.

If you either need to complete or have completed the old module Advanced Logistics and Transportation Management and if you need to complete or have completed the old modules Basics of Logistics Management or Basics of Transport Management, you had the opportunity to decide until the summer semester of 2019 to acquire the respective 6 CP either within the old module (two lectures) or through the new module (lecture and lecture with integrated exercise (VÜ)). Since the winter semester of 2020/2021, it will not be possible to take exams in old modules. You will then be required to take a new module instead.
