General description
Logistics and transportation are essential to modern society. Engineers have always participated in the creation of new infrastructure but technological and societal developments have made infrastructure problems increasingly complicated. Now logistics planning and management have developed into separate scientific disciplines and specializations.
The DTU Master is one of the few full MSc courses in dedicated to transportation and logistics. The engineering approach to transport and logistics implies mathematical modeling and computer-based solutions to optimize transportation and logistics.
The students obtain in-depth knowledge of traffic, transportation and logistics in combination with skills in software technology, data analysis and statistics, operations research, geo-informatics, economics, planning theory and management. Students may choose to focus on one mode (e.g. road or rail transport) or many.
The study can focus on applications used for real-size problems and the master project is often completed in cooperation with private firms or public authorities. The focus can also be on methods and research to equip graduates to undertake a PhD and/or a research career.
The program enjoys a wide network of contacts among both private enterprises and public authorities with which projects can be undertaken during the course. It also has links with international universities, enabling students to spend one semester studying abroad.
