With an emphasis on interdisciplinary research, the University of Luxembourg strives for international excellence as well as regional relevance. The University of Luxembourg offers a competitive package and an international research and teaching environment.

     

    The Luxembourg Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LCL), which is a member of the MIT Global SCALE Network, is a cornerstone in the Duchy of Luxembourg's overarching plan to maintain and improve the country's position as a leader in logistics and supply chain management as it was ranked second by the World Bank's Logistics Performance Indicator (LPI) by the World Bank.

    The core educational program at the LCL is a one-year professional master in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) incorporating a 4-week visit to the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA, while engaging industry partners-such as Ferrero, Vodafone, BASF and ArcelorMittal-in the applied thesis projects. The master program commenced last year with a diverse, high calibre inaugural cohort, with graduates securing positions in companies such as Amazon, Exxon, and Cargolux.
