Description/content

The extra-occupational "Digital Logistics Management“ Master's graduate programme leads to a Master of Engineering in Logistics degree.

The content of the programme is oriented on diverse requirements: digitalisation of the economy, personal leadership, competences in project management, and sustainable development in technical and environmental topics as well as the use of strategies in the area of logistics and supply chain management.

Students learn all of the highly needed skills that are demanded by society, the economy, the industrial sector and political administration as competence requirements for the wider logistics sector.

During the programme development, the experience of foreign universities that have degree programmes in a similar field was taken into consideration. 

The recommendations of leading specialists and professors of the partner university (Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau) was obtained through exchange visits of school administration and professors to Georgia.

The feature of the programme is the in-depth examination of a number of issues that have been selected in light of current and growing demands on logistics information as well as demands placed on technology managers working both in the Georgian labour market and internationally.

The programme curriculum has a technical focus, and it gives students a good understanding of business operations and strategy. Students will learn how IT must be aligned with the strategy of the organisation.

The teaching process of the programme is based on modern methodologies of practice-oriented teaching, taking into account the elements of scientific research. It focuses on in-depth learning of the disciplines enriched with the latest scientific or practical information management technologies.

Compatible with modern international standards, the programme enables the student to acquire deep theoretical knowledge in the content field and to master good practical skills.

The thoughtful proportion of theoretical and practical components of the programme provides the basis for a graduate to pursue a career as a prospective Digital Logistics Management specialist, both in Georgia and abroad. It is divided in the stages of “Engineering”, “General Management“ and "IT and Management“, with a special focus on digitalisation in logistics.

The study programme is organised as a joint Master's of both universities, which is conducted in English. This extends the audience of the programme beyond Georgia.

Overall, the study programme is focussed on younger members of management who already have professional experience in the area of logistics. In the area of southern Caucasus along the silk road, a dynamic and sustainable sector of logistics industry is developing. The need of IT competence and IT skills for the integration of information tool in the logistics sector is obvious.

Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau

Content Bild

The Technical University of Applied Sciences Wildau (TH Wildau) is one of four universities of applied sciences in the state of Brandenburg. By combining the familiarity of a small compact campus with its proximity to the international metropole of Berlin, TH Wildau offers the best of both worlds.

A modern campus university on Berlin's doorstep

The university opened its doors in 1991 with just 17 students in the mechanical engineering degree programme. Today there are around 3,500 students, ensuring that TH Wildau keeps its familiar atmosphere. On a modern campus with a direct rail connection to Berlin, aspiring academics enjoy an ideal environment for their studies in a range of disciplines covering the natural sciences, engineering, economics, law, business administration and management.

Practical and application-oriented

The practical orientation of the degree programmes is one of the distinctive characteristics of TH Wildau. Students can carry out practical exercises and experiments with top-quality laboratory and computer technology. An optimal study environment allows creativity and enthusiasm for research to flourish.

Close interaction between the university and the economy

Its potential for scientific innovation and development is what makes TH Wildau a desirable partner for innovative small and medium-sized businesses, as well as large international firms. Collaborations include input into designing the curricula for the degree programmes, to project work for students within the companies and joint research activities. This allows students to gain valuable practical experience in various fields even before they have completed their studies, thus making them an attractive choice for businesses when starting their careers.

Excellent international networking

An international and intercultural outlook shapes each working day at the university. Young people from over 80 countries around the world study at TH Wildau. About one in six students comes from abroad.

TH Wildau actively promotes international exchanges for students and researchers. It is for these reasons that the university cooperates with more than 75 partner universities around the world. TH Wildau has contacts through its traditional partnerships in Eastern and Southern Europe as well as through links to Asia, Latin America, the Arab world, and Africa. Students have a wide range of attractive options for spending a semester studying or working abroad, for learning foreign languages and interacting with other cultures.

A strong research university

TH Wildau has a strong research focus. In comparison to other small universities of applied sciences, it has done exceptionally well in obtaining third-party research funding. Academics are working in over 40 research groups dealing with the latest topics in applied and fundamental research. This has given the university its reputation as a centre of excellence in various scientific disciplines.

University location

TH Wildau is located approximately 45 minutes south-east from the centre of Germany’s capital city, Berlin.

Green, interconnected campus

TH Wildau is a campus university. The teaching and administration buildings, dining room, and library are all located on an interconnected campus by the Wildau S-Bahn train station, with direct access to Berlin. This makes studying in Wildau exceptionally convenient.

Modern infrastructure with tradition

The campus is located on a historic industrial and manufacturing site. Where once locomotives were built in vast production halls, today people study, teach, and conduct research. Some of the teaching and laboratory facilities of TH Wildau have been housed within these historic walls, while for others, new buildings have been constructed. This extraordinary mix of old and new continues to attract students and visitors with a passion for architecture.

Prize-winning university library

TH Wildau has a state-of-the-art library in an architecturally dazzling industrial production hall. In 2012, it was nominated "Library of the Year", and not without reason. With its wide range of forward-looking services, this cutting-edge library is setting new standards by developing novel technical solutions for library organisation.
