🌍 Interdisciplinary, international & at the cutting edge
Logistics is more than just transport and warehousing - it is the backbone of the global economy.
That's why our Bachelor's degree program at the Ludwigshafen University of Business and Society is interdisciplinary: you will learn how business, technology, IT and soft skills interact - and how to develop practical solutions for real-world challenges.

- International thinking & acting
- Communication & teamwork skills
- Dealing with change & complexity
- Sensitivity for diversity & intercultural cooperation
These key qualifications are firmly anchored in the course - both in terms of content and methodology.

You start with the basics of business administration and deepen your knowledge in the central areas of logistics in the higher semesters. In semesters 3 to 5, you will specialize in a targeted, practical and future-oriented way.
