Semester Abroad

Study abroad in the Master of Logistics & Supply Chain Management

Most ISM Master's programs include an integrated semester abroad, including the Master's in International Logistics. After two semesters at ISM, you will spend the third semester at a partner university abroad. In the Master of International Logistics you can choose your partner university from a network of more than 20 universities (PDF).

The semester abroad allows you to deepen your subject-specific knowledge. You will also set individual priorities and get to know the intercultural peculiarities of the chosen country. In this way, you will gain experience in logistics studies, which will be very helpful when starting your career in this global industry.

You can choose the university yourself and our International Office (IO) will support you with the application and study abroad planning process.

My semester abroad in Melbourne

I received a lot of positive feedback from fellow students who were already there regarding the university, courses and lecturers. So I quickly decided that I wanted to spend my semester abroad at Victoria University. My fellow students in Australia were all from different cultural backgrounds. Through the practice-oriented courses I quickly came into contact with them and learned to work with them.
