Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki, Finland, offers a Master’s degree in Business and Management with a specialisation in Humanitarian Logistics through its HUMLOG (Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Research) Institute — one of the world’s foremost research centres in humanitarian supply chain management. The specialisation equips students with a distinct competitive edge by applying logistics and supply chain management concepts specifically to the humanitarian context.
Students learn to design and manage supply chains on strategic and operational levels in humanitarian settings, and to liaise and cooperate with governmental and non-governmental organisations worldwide. The programme combines theoretical frameworks with practical tools, preparing graduates for careers in logistics and supply chain roles within NGOs, UN agencies and international humanitarian organisations. EU and EEA citizens do not pay tuition fees; non-EU/EEA students pay €12,500 per year.
