Who should be interested?
LMS is a 2-year program intended for young people with a Master's degree in industrial engineering or a related field deepening their knowledge and skills in the field of logistics. LMS is a unique opportunity to combine study and work to learn more about logistics in an independent setting. Without exception, alumni call LMS an excellent preparation for a (logistics) career in industry and an easy way to get acquainted with industry in a relatively risk-free environment. In addition, trainees learn how to effectively work in teams and how to further develop their interpersonal skills.
Even for those who have already obtained a Master's in logistics and/or industrial engineering and management sciences, there are many reasons why joining the program makes sense: it broadens logistics knowledge, it shows how (logistics) theory can be applied in practice, and it offers a good opportunity to work together with people from other disciplines.
Admission and selection
All candidates should have completed a Master's (or equivalent) degree in industrial engineering or a related field. Furthermore, candidates should be able to demonstrate proficiency in English and to show proofs of strong interest and knowledge in the logistics field.
You must have very good communications skills.
To assure a good working atmosphere in the working groups we cannot accept trainees older than 27 years of age.
Those interested in the program can apply for a position and may be invited for an interview with a selection committee. During the interview attention is paid to aspects such as good intellectual skills, conceptual skills, clear focus on design, determination and willingness to work hard, interpersonal skills, motivation and good oral and writing skills.
The number of trainees that can enroll is limited to 10 per year.
The program starts two times per year (January/February and August/September).
