Supply Chain Management
Learn to put logistics knowledge to use in real-life situations. How to combine global, green and innovation techniques in your supply chain strategies. Communicate and collaborate better. Learn about Dutch logistics history. Experience Europe’s largest seaport: the Port of Rotterdam. And more!
The program in a nutshell
Your studies take place Monday through Friday. Think about lectures, workshops, on-site visits, excursions and more.
Now put theory into practice! You work in a small team on a final project: the full redesign of a fictitious company’s Western European Supply Chain.
You cover the entire spectrum of logistics details. From design and visualization. To financials and the conversion cycle. And forecasting. You and your teammates build a consultancy presentation. And present your project to the class and lecturers.

Dutch way of learning
The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at HAN you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions and give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative and to discover things for yourself.
What about credits and grading?
At HAN we use the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, or ECTS. It’s the standard credit system used in higher education across Europe. How does it work? One credit = 28 hours of study. Think of contact hours. Time spent working on assignments. Preparing for exams.
One semester = 30 credits = 840 hours of study. To earn credits, you need to pass your exams. What counts as a pass? A grade of at least 5.5.
