Welcome

Welcome to Kühne Logistics University: “THE KLU” – Wissenschaftliche Hochschule für Logistik und Unternehmensführung.

Building on the experience of the Kühne School of Logistics and Management at Hamburg University of Technology (2003-2010) the Kühne-Stiftung (Foundation) founded “THE KLU” in January 2010 as a private, independent and state-recognized university. THE KLU is dedicated to teaching and research of logistics as a core element of globally organized management. Our students and professors don’t see logistics in the literal sense of the word, but rather as a leadership function in all sectors of the international economy. Almost no other area of expertise prepares future management leaders for tomorrow's global challenges better than a broad understanding of logistics.

Logistics is genuinely multidisciplinary. It impacts everything that shapes our future: Technology, cutting-edge IT design, microeconomics and macroeconomics, sustainability, and challenging management strategies in complex, intercultural surroundings.

THE KLU is located in the heart of Europe’s largest urban development project, the waterside HafenCity in Hamburg. Hamburg, as the world’s ninth-largest seaport, is an important logistics center.

There are many good reasons why you should get to know THE KLU. We invite you to discover how the world of logistics can be the doorway to your successful future career.

Explore the world of logistics and leadership through THE KLU!
