Logistics Management

Driven by rapid change and the effects of globalization, today's businesses need an excellent distribution network to stay one step ahead in both local and international markets within an increasingly competitive business environment. Rapid advances in information technology have not only accelerated business processes but also transformed customers. Today's market means customers who demand more and are less patient. To survive in such a challenging environment, concepts such as Logistics and Logistics Management are becoming increasingly important. Logistics comes into play in all management and shipment activities within the supply chain, from the sourcing of raw materials to the production environment, and from the completion of the final product to distribution channels and the customer.

Program Objective

The objective of the Logistics Management program is to train qualified professionals who can adapt to the changing and evolving conditions of logistics in Türkiye and around the world.

Program Structure

To graduate from Bahçeşehir University, students must complete a course load of 130 credits/240 ECTS. During the first two years, our students take the required core courses (such as economics, accounting, statistics and mathematics). All courses in the first two years are compulsory. Starting from the third year, students begin taking elective courses in addition to the compulsory courses required for this field. The elective courses in the third year are General Elective courses, designed to broaden the student's worldview and provide additional skills (such as foreign languages, philosophy, history and music). Students may also choose to take COOP courses taught by industry professionals as electives.

Program Mission

To create international experience and employment opportunities for our students through a faculty that follows the trends and technological developments shaping the future of the logistics sector.
