Logistics deals with planning and management of the flow of products, services and information through the multi-level logistical network, starting with the suppliers of raw materials and up to the end users. For companies in the energy sector, reliable and efficient logistics operations are a key factor for sustainable and secure energy supply. Today, in the energy transition environment, amid rising geopolitical tensions, the selection and mix of energy sources are a matter of balancing energy security with economic, social, and environmental impacts.
This programme equips students with analytical and practical capabilities to design, plan, evaluate, and improve logistical processes across traditional and renewable energy value chains, with a focus on upstream logistics operations in energy production. The combination of knowledge and skills for efficient logistics operations planning in addition to competences in energy economics and energy analytics, based on the strong cooperation with the energy industry, makes this program unique.
This degree will qualify you for positions in logistics departments of energy companies in Norway and abroad, including major energy producers and their suppliers, offshore energy operators, and local and national energy agencies.
