Gain an international supply chain management perspective
You will spend the third semester abroad at one of our partner universities. The International Office will support you with this. The semester abroad allows you to deepen your subject-specific knowledge. You will also set individual priorities and learn about the intercultural characteristics of your chosen cultural area. At the same time, you will perfect your language skills. Your classes abroad will be 100% credited, so you won't lose any ECTS and time.
Additional options during your studies are:
- Fast Track: If you wish to shorten your studies to only 3 semesters, you can select the Fast Track option, in which you may skip the semester abroad. Read more below.
- Double Degree: If you would like to receive a Double Degree, we offer this option in collaboration with several partner institutions. Read more about it here.
