Student Life

LCL lounge and classroom

The Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is part of the educational offer provided by the Luxembourg Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LCL) and as such all our students have access to the LCL lounge, a place to unwind and relax in between classes, play table tennis or just enjoy lunch. It has a kitchen including a fridge, microwave and coffee machine. The LCL lounge is a great place to get to know the LCL faculty, staff and PhD students in an informal way, as well as network with our industry partners after seminars.

Moreover, the Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management has its own dedicated classroom that can be used in between lectures for group work or self-study. Due to the programme’s small class sizes, our students are able to interact more with their lecturers and form a strong sense of community with their peers. Read more about it in our testimonials below.

Alumni networks

Graduates of the Master in Logistics and Supply Chain Management will join not only one but two alumni networks upon receiving their diploma.

Graduates will be able to connect with alumni of the University of Luxembourg in general and the
Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance in particular.

All MIT Global SCALE Network alumni are invited to join the MIT Alumni Association. The alumni should update their information in the association’s “Infinite Connection” directory and can look up information on other MIT alumni.

MIT SCALE alumni are also encouraged to join the MIT SCALE network group on LinkedIn.

“Coming to Luxembourg to broaden my knowledge about the world of logistics and supply chains has been one of the best decisions in my life so far. Out of all the scale centres, LCL is the only one providing its students with not only an international environment but also an exposure to the university culture which opens multiple horizons to explore university events, network with people from various different educational backgrounds and create life-long bonds!
For me, it was an intensive learning curve full of group assignments, laughter, tears and parties which kept me challenging the status quo in all dimensions. This has allowed me to grow as an individual in the last year and create bonds with my friends and
professors, a bond which is shared by a family!
Cheers! To all the future members looking to join this family!”

“I chose this programme because of the experience of staff and the diversity of the country Luxembourg and other students in this cohort.
We have a lot of cultural diversity, referring to 13 different countries. It opened up an opportunity for me to understand different
people, business practices, cultures and experiences.
Another reason for me to choose the programme is its location and its international presence, especially in logistics. Luxembourg serves 80% of Europe in one-day transit.
I knew I was going to learn and understand many international markets and logistic networks.
My advice: come to this programme with an open mind and be anxious to learn.”

“Successfully pursuing the Master in Supply Chain and Logistics at the University of Luxembourg was among the best experiences of my life.
The programme combined theoretical aspects of supply chains ranging from logistics management to data science with many real-life examples to prepare us for our professional lives. The faculty was always engaged and willing to help the students move to
the next level.
Being part of the MIT SCALE Network, our class spent almost four weeks at MIT in Boston attending conferences, lectures and interacting with our fellow peers from the supply chain industry. I especially appreciated the connections opportunities and the exposure we received. the opportunities to make connections.
The broad range of courses available in the programme means that all students can find their niche and be assured that they are equipped with the right set of skills to succeed professionally. I would recommend this course to everyone!”

“As the first cohort of students of MIT SCALE SCM programme at Luxembourg Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain
Management, we had a productive time with hard work and enthusiasm within the small multicultural family. In my personal opinion, it has been a unique part of our lives to be always remembered.
Luxembourg is a beautiful and safe country, full of natural relaxation and professional people representing many cultures. It is a good place to live and travel. The University of Luxembourg is quite young but a very dynamic place with innovative projects and
programmes.
The part of the programme in Boston was great in terms of meeting peers from other centres, attending master class sessions by MIT staff and industry leaders. We also had an exposure to the local culture to some extent, exploring aspects of life on the other side of the ocean. For people interested in joining the programme, I would recommend to align it with future career plans and in case they decide to join, to exploit all study opportunities here, hence the programme is hands-on and quantitative.
Last, but not least, I am proud that we made it happen with our cohort in Luxembourg which is a “melting pot” of many cultures
and nationalities. It is also amazing to represent my motherland Azerbaijan and demonstrate its rich culture here.
Time is flying. Feels like summer is not so far, looking forward to completing long-awaited Master’s degree from MIT SCALE SCM programme and continuing my supply chain professional career equipped with new skills and knowledge.
I am very thankful to all my colleagues from the programme and faculty members at Luxembourg Centre for Logistics and Supply Chain. Great people, Great memories!”

“It took ten months of reflection and hard work to appreciate the new and unknown that was ahead of me. Ten months ago, I was
only dreaming big. In September 2017, I met fourteen people with whom I shared my hope and energy to become a better professional. They became my team.
One year ago, I took a tough decision to leave home and move to Luxembourg. I had the full support of my family and close ones who were beyond excited about my new adventure. I could not make it without them.
When classes started, I had the feeling everyone was at a different level than me. My colleagues seemed so confident and prepared. It took me a while to realise we were all learning to swim in a new pool that we had thrown ourselves into. I wasn’t in my best shape but I strongly believed in being humble and open-minded. Everyone I met had a story, everyone knew something I did
not. So, I focused on learning new and challenging things. It was a bitter-sweet journey with funny moments, late night studying, tons of coffee, laughter and tears.
It is hard to leave everything behind and start over but don’t focus on the small achievements! Dream big, stay focused, enjoy the journey and keep your head up no matter what. When you feel tired and disappointed, don’t forget that friendship is the cornerstone that will help you all the way to your goal.”
