ZLOG Master of Engineering in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Descripción:

The MIT-Zaragoza Master of Engineering in Logistics & Supply Chain Management (ZLOG) program offers the unique combination of a world-class supply chain degree taught in a truly global setting.

The ZLOG program builds on the top-ranked curriculum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Nine months of challenging coursework, cutting edge research, and industry interaction provide ZLOG graduates with the problem solving and leadership skills that companies seek in an increasingly complex and dynamic marketplace.

Based in Zaragoza, Spain, ZLOG is part of the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program – a unique research and education partnership between academia, industry and government that develops and disseminates innovative supply chain concepts alongside the creation of one of the largest logistics parks in Europe. While there, students have the opportunity to interact and learn from faculty, researchers and fellow students from across the globe.

The strong combination of international experience and supply chain expertise provides ZLOG graduates with opportunities to make an impact in a wide range of industries around the world.



The ZLOG Program requires nine months of full time study in English, beginning in late August and concluding with commencement the following May. The academic calendar is divided into four major phases: Orientation, Fall Semester, International Exchange, and Spring Semester.


> Orientation Period – Orientation takes ZLOG students to the Pyrenees, a majestic mountain range on the French border with Spain, for a combination of recreational, cultural, and educational activities. During this week, ZLOG students begin building the personal and professional bonds that will benefit them during the academic year, as well as throughout their careers.

> Fall Semester – Fall Semester focuses on providing students with the basic theory and tools used in the analysis, design and operation of logistics systems and integrated supply chains. These fundamentals form the foundation for advanced courses, thesis research, and continued application throughout their professional life.

> International Exchange – During a unique four-week term in January, ZLOG students participate in an international exchange with students from MLOG, their sister program at MIT. The MLOG and ZLOG students study together at the ZLC and the MIT campus, taking two modules focused on teamwork and organizational transformation: Supply Chain Innovations and Leadership Series (SCILS) – Several supply chain executives visit MIT and Zaragoza offering seminars to provide a practical perspective on real-world and leadership issues. Supply Chain Challenge – MLOG-ZLOG teams compete against each other during this month-long supply chain simulation game, in which they must manage an international supply chain in a virtual marketplace.

> Spring Semester – Spring Semester allows students to specialize through elective courses and thesis research. Students also learn how to align innovative supply chain management with corporate strategy to create opportunities in various competitive environments.

> Commencement – ZLOG students celebrate the completion of their studies in May with a special Commencement Ceremony and reception led by the President of the Regional Government of Aragon and Rector of the University of Zaragoza. Past commencement addresses have been given by John Allan, CEO of Exel Logistics, and Marie-Christine Lombard, Head of TNT Express.
