What logistics and transport management involves

Logistics and transport management is the branch of business studies that deals with moving goods, people, and information from one place to another. Programmes of this kind usually cover supply chain planning, inventory management, procurement, warehousing, and the operation of road, rail, air, and sea transport. You also learn about the regulations governing trade and movement, and the digital systems that track shipments and coordinate fleets. Studying this field develops practical skills in planning, problem-solving, and data analysis to ensure that goods arrive on time and at the lowest cost.

How competitive is entry?

To find out if your grades make you eligible, compare your WASSCE results with the official requirements for this programme.
