Do you study logistics? Can you send me a courier?
(Source: "Beijing Examination News" 2020-04-01)
Taking stock of the most misunderstood majors, logistics must be indispensable. In the topic "Others' misunderstandings about your major" on a certain platform, messages similar to "I heard that you study logistics, can you send me a courier?" appeared frequently, making students studying this major dumbfounded.
What exactly does a logistics major do?With the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, logistics people have also become part of the “most beautiful rebels”. The "courier boys" who shuttle through the streets and alleys to deliver daily necessities and fresh vegetables to us; the "courier boys" who rush on the highways to accurately and efficiently deliver emergency medical supplies and life support materials collected from all directions to the rescue fleets across Hubei. These are all part of logistics, but they are not all.
When there is a special shortage of key medical and prevention and control materials, how to use professional knowledge to establish an emergency logistics command mechanism and system, scientifically and rationally dispatch resources, ensure smooth traffic, effectively connect terminal distribution, and provide efficient and safe logistics services...These are inseparable from professional logistics knowledge, and this is the core of logistics majors.
Most schools do not limit elective subjects
There are more than 600 logistics undergraduate majors in colleges and universities across the country. Some colleges and universities recruit students according to the major categories of logistics management and logistics engineering, and some enroll students separately in two majors: logistics management and logistics engineering. Different colleges have their own characteristics in enrollment and training.
The Logistics Management major of the w88 casino recruits students separately, enrolling 30 students nationwide every year. There are no special subject selection requirements for students who apply. Yang Hangjun, a professor at the Department of International Transportation and Logistics at the w88 casino of International Economics and w88, said that relatively speaking, it will be easier for students with a good foundation in high w88 casino mathematics to study logistics management. The logistics management major of the University of International w88 is more focused on international logistics. Students have to study international transportation and logistics management, operations research, Western economics, transportation economics, international cargo transportation, international logistics rules, supply chain management, international logistics rules, etc. Compared with other economic and management majors, it is easier for graduates majoring in logistics management to apply to study abroad. Students who want to engage in logistics and supply chain management-related work after graduation or who want to study abroad for further study are more suitable for this major.
Talent training has its own characteristics
The department where the logistics management major of the w88 casino is located is called the "Department of International Transportation and Logistics", which is one of the oldest departments in the w88 casino. Department teachers said that as can be seen from the name, compared with the logistics management majors of other universities, the logistics management major of the University of International w88 and Economics has two major features. First, it has a high degree of internationalization. Among the 10 teachers in the department, 9 have studied abroad or have long-term visiting experience in well-known foreign universities, and 5 of them have obtained overseas doctorates. At present, the department has carried out student exchange programs with many foreign universities, and is negotiating with the Rutgers University Business w88 casino in the United States for joint student training projects. In addition, the department also offers undergraduate and master's degree programs in logistics management in Chinese and English for international students. Second, the curriculum highlights the characteristics of "transportation" and "international transportation", and provides professional courses such as transportation economics, international cargo transportation, international logistics rules, and international transportation geography to cultivate comprehensive and specialized talents that adapt to the needs of modern logistics management. Students majoring in logistics management must be proficient in at least one foreign language and have strong cross-cultural communication skills. Students systematically study and master the basic theories, analytical methods and business skills of logistics management, and become business people and economic and management scholars who can base themselves on the international market and thoroughly understand the laws of logistics management.
Great demand for talents in Chaoyang industry
The employment rate and employment quality of graduates majoring in logistics management at the w88 casino remain “double high”. More and more graduates choose to continue their studies. In recent years, almost one-third of graduates have chosen to study abroad. The schools admitted include Duke University in the United States, New York University, University of Pennsylvania, University College London, University of Sydney, Osaka University in Japan, National University of Singapore, etc.; about one-third of graduates have chosen to study abroad. Graduates are studying for master's degrees in China, and the schools they are admitted to include Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University of China, etc.; the remaining one-third of students who are directly employed are mainly concentrated in government departments at all levels, large e-commerce or logistics companies, logistics or supply chain management departments of industrial and commercial enterprises, large foreign w88 companies, etc.
At present, the logistics industry plays a wide role and is developing rapidly.
"The logistics industry, as an emerging industry sector in the national economy, will become an important industry and a new growth point of the national economy in this century." Yang Hangjun, a professor at the Department of International Transportation and Logistics, w88 casino of International Economics and w88, w88 casino, said that logistics, as the third source of profits for enterprises, still has a lot of room to explore, but my country's logistics education still lags behind, resulting in a serious shortage of modern logistics talents such as comprehensive talents and international talents in the logistics industry. At present, only about 20% of logistics employees have a college degree or above. Many managers in the logistics department have become monks halfway and lack systematic and professional training. Therefore, there is a huge demand in the market for logistics talents with solid professional knowledge. The logistics industry has become a sunrise industry. In the context of a shortage of professional talents and a huge market demand for logistics professionals, the logistics management major has broad market prospects.
