accommodation from outside the Netherlands.
No problem, you can let Rotterdam Business School
provide a room for you in the international student
dormitory through its International Housing Office.
The procedure is simple: together with your admission
letter you will receive a reservation form for accom-
modation.
Please note that without a reservation, accommodation
cannot be guaranteed. It is very important, therefore,
that you return your signed reservation form before the
deadline mentioned in the form.
Pre-Master coursesIf you do not meet all the entry requirements, you can
still qualify if you follow one of Rotterdam Business
School’s Pre-Master courses.
There are two Pre-Master courses:
• a six-month programme for students with a Bachelor
degree in a business field who do not meet the GMAT
requirements and/or have an IELTS score of at least 6.5;
• a twelve-month programme for students with a
Bachelor degree in a non-business field and/or an
IELTS score of at least 6.0.
If you do meet all the requirements, but would still
like to be better prepared for the Master programme,
you are of course welcome to join the preparation
programme.
Successful completion of the Pre-Master course
entitles you to:
• exemption from the IELTS 7.0/TOEFL iBT 100
requirements
• a Pre-Master course certificate;
• deduction of €1,250 on the Non-EU tuition fees of a
Master Programme at Rotterdam Business School.

Programme overview
Master in Logistics Management
Excellence in logistics is fast becoming a key factor in
companies’ competitive advantage. Companies worldwide
spend up to 20 or 30 percent of their overall costs on
logistics, while proficiency in logistics is demanded in
management positions throughout organisations.
In sectors as varied as transport, production and banking,
a degree in Logistics Management will gain you a place
among the decision-makers.
This one-year, full-time Master programme is one of three
Master programmes offered by Rotterdam Business School.
The other two are Master in Finance and Accounting and
Master in Consultancy and Entrepreneurship.

‘The time you win in this efficient one-year
programme is an added year of income.
Moreover, the excellent team at RBS makes
it a very good alternative for
larger-scale universities.’
Programme structure Rotterdam Business School’s Master programmes
are built on three pillars:
• Education consists of core, specialisation and
elective modules. You can to a large extent determine
your own course while developing all the necessary
knowledge, skills and competencies of a professional
in international business.
• Research is the focus of the final stage of our
programmes. You will complete your studies with a
thesis research project, which can revolve around
a theoretical subject or a project executed for an
existing organisation.
• Personal development is encouraged through a
system that invites you to set your own particular
study goals – and continually test those choices.
ElectivesElectives are specialisation modules from Rotterdam
Business School’s other two Master programmes.
Students add these modules to their regular
programme. This fits in with our belief that at this
level, students need to be able to look beyond the
boundaries of their field and develop interdisciplinary
competencies.
In the Master in Logistics Management, students can
choose from:
• Finance and Accounting electives: International
Finance and Accounting, Strategy and Performance
Measurement, Strategy and Control Systems,
Strategy and Final Decisions, Strategy and Profit
Goals, Treasury Management.
• Consultancy and Entrepreneurship electives:
Managing Risk, Strategic Management Consulting,
Entrepreneurial Challenge, Managing Performance,
Change Management, Consultancy Process.
Personal development programmeThe Master programmes at Rotterdam Business School
are known for their learning processes and focus on
competencies. In our specific competency development
model you are responsible to a large extent for
determining your individual learning objectives and
areas of development. Together with a development
coach and in various groups you will work on the
skills and competencies as defined in your personal
development plan.
Final thesisThe conclusion of the Master programme is your thesis
research project. Your thesis can be based on either
a theoretical research project or practical business
research for an outside organisation.
Career perspectivesGraduates of the Master in Logistics Management
perform successfully in such fields as:
• controlling production planning and scheduling
processes;
• making effective use of enterprise resources planning
(ERP) systems while anticipating their impact on the
manufacturing process and inventories;
• planning and forecasting while translating internal
and external customer demands;
• managing and evaluating the supply chain and
making effective use of relevant tools, principles and
concepts and web opportunities such as e-business.

Rotterdam Business SchoolSchooling for business: education at Rotterdam Business School has always been driven by
the demands expressed by students and the international business community. Our wide
international network is the source of continuous innovation.
As a result, Rotterdam Business School’s population keeps growing, with students coming in
from all over the world. Up-to-date programmes and international possibilities are often
cited as major reasons for choosing Rotterdam Business School. Students feel that both the
curriculum and the diverse social environment give them a head start in their international
business careers.
Philosophy of learningStudent autonomy is key in Rotterdam Business School’s Master programmes. A significant
part of study time is spent on self-study. As a student in our programmes, you are encouraged
to set your own personal learning goals and determine your own learning strategy. We believe
this will benefit your self-confidence and inspire you to be an initiator rather than a follower.
Communities of practiceNew ways of thinking are required if we want to contribute to the technological breakthroughs
that will determine the 21st century. Rotterdam Business School creates the environment to
develop these new ways of thinking in communities of practice, where students, lecturers and
experts from the professional field gather for open intellectual exchange.
