Depending on their area of specialization and internships, graduates can pursue positions such as junior buyer, procurement manager, junior sales forecaster, or logistics coordinator. With experience, they can take on responsibility for a specific area of procurement, a logistics operation, or supply chain coordination.
Purchasing involves selecting suppliers and negotiating purchasing terms. Logistics primarily involves managing inventory, transportation, and delivery. The supply chain coordinates all of these activities—from suppliers to the end customer—to control costs, lead times, and service quality.
The Business track provides an understanding of the economic and organizational challenges facing a company. Depending on the partner university chosen, a specialization in Logistics and Supply Chain can further deepen this focus. Internships in purchasing, procurement, or logistics then allow students to gain experience directly related to their desired career paths.
Supply chains may involve suppliers, carriers, and teams spread across multiple countries. English facilitates negotiations, order tracking, and problem-solving. It complements other equally important skills: data analysis, organization, and cross-departmental coordination.
