Program overview
Logistics Engineering and Management, simply put, is about studying how to move things from point A to point B quickly and cost-effectively. It's not just about managing warehouses and trucks; it uses mathematical modeling, information technology, and systems thinking to design the entire supply chain. Core courses include Supply Chain Management, Logistics System Planning, Warehousing and Distribution, Logistics Information Technology, Operations Research, Data Analysis, and more. You'll learn how to use algorithms to plan optimal routes, how to track goods with the Internet of Things, and how to predict demand with big data. This major is perfect for students who enjoy problem-solving, have a knack for numbers, and are interested in business operations. Chinese universities have unique strengths in this field—for example, many have dedicated smart logistics labs and close partnerships with companies like JD.com and SF Express, giving you exposure to real-world logistics scenarios. Moreover, as a global manufacturing and trade hub, China offers a wealth of logistics cases, so the theories you learn in class can immediately be applied in practice.
