Shape the future of global supply chains. 

You’re either already a dyed-in-the-wool supply chain fan or at least intrigued by the idea of being the mastermind behind an invisible global flow of material and goods? Then KLU’s Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is the right program for you. And with the profile “Supply Chain Management” you’ll gain the knowledge needed to prepare you for a career in one of the most relevant and important industries there is.  

Supply Chain Managers (SCMs) play a vital role in ensuring that the products we use every day – whether electric toothbrushes, smartphones, or cars – reach us without any snags. They’re who coordinate the entire process, from sourcing materials to storage and final delivery, all while keeping sustainability in focus. Whether it’s reducing carbon emissions or cutting waste, SCMs are the ones who make it happen. But that’s not all – supply chain managers also adapt to cutting-edge technologies like the Internet of Things, which connects objects and allows them to exchange data in real-time. This creates tremendous opportunities for efficiency and better decision-making, helping companies stay ahead of the competition. 

Our Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is the perfect foundation for launching an international career.

What I value about the KLU is two-fold: it provides an excellent academic foundation for a successful future, and it encourages you to grow as an established individual, fostering confidence and approachability.

One of the things I like the most about being at KLU is the comfortable study environment KLU offers.

You can consider KLU as a “gateway to the world,” as they say in German. An intercultural university with students of more than 30 nationalities located in Hamburg, KLU gives students the opportunity to connect with people from all around the world and to experience a multifaceted city. I could not imagine a better place for taking the first step into my future and establishing my own network.

The courses at KLU are carefully synchronized, leading to  fast progress through the content without unnecessary repetition. The small size of the classes allows me to ask questions to the professor, if something is unclear. The lectures are often complemented by practical examples or projects illustrating the theory in a real-world context. The projects create a vivid, motivated atmosphere in class, which makes me enjoy my studies at KLU very much.

The KLU-Experience not only includes learning theoretical concepts in class but also experiencing their implementation outside of the classroom. For example, our excursions to Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services and the container terminals at the harbor were extremely interesting and valuable.
