Major introduction

Logistics Management: Learn how to efficiently plan, execute, and control supply chains to move goods from producer to consumer faster, cheaper, and smarter.

Program overview

Logistics Management sounds like "managing warehouses and delivering packages," but it's actually a discipline about how to efficiently move goods, information, and capital globally. Core courses include Supply Chain Management, Transportation and Distribution, Warehousing and Inventory Control, Logistics Information Systems, Procurement and Supply Management, International Logistics, etc. You'll learn to optimize routes with data analysis, coordinate suppliers and customers with systematic thinking, and use cost control to help companies do more with less. Chinese universities have strong practical features in this field; many schools have training bases in cooperation with JD, SF Express, Cainiao, etc., and you can even participate in real logistics projects. Suitable for those who enjoy logical analysis, are interested in business operations, and don't mind occasionally going to the field. If you're curious about "how to deliver Double 11 packages within three days," this major will suit you.

Major prospects

物流管理正从“搬箱子”升级为“用算法搬箱子”。中国是全球最大的物流市场，快递年业务量超过千亿件，但效率提升空间依然巨大。目前行业热点包括：智慧物流（无人仓、无人机配送）、冷链物流（生鲜、医药）、跨境物流（一带一路、跨境电商）、绿色物流（新能源车、循环包装）。国际学生可以重点关注中欧班列、东南亚跨境供应链等方向，这些领域急需既懂中文又熟悉当地市场的人才。另外，供应链风险管理在疫情后变得特别重要，很多公司专门设立了这个岗位。

Career prospects

毕业后出路很广，不愁找工作。常见去向：大型制造企业（如华为、比亚迪）的供应链部门、电商平台（阿里、京东、拼多多）的物流运营岗、第三方物流公司（顺丰、中外运、DHL）的管培生、咨询公司（麦肯锡、埃森哲）的供应链咨询顾问。岗位包括：供应链专员、物流运营经理、采购分析师、国际货运代理、仓储主管等。起薪方面，国内一线城市本科应届生月薪约6000-10000元人民币，硕士或名校生会更高。如果进入外企或跨境电商，薪资可能上浮20%-30%。国际学生如果中文流利，还可以考虑跨国公司的中国区供应链岗位，或者回国从事中资企业的海外物流业务。
