Specialization in Logistics and Transportation
A comprehensive MBA program with two modules—
—dedicated to logistics and transportation
The specialization in Logistics and Transportation is not a standalone program; it is one of the nine tracks within CESTE’s MBA, the Official Master’s Degree in Business Management and Administration. You’ll take the four core business management modules alongside the rest of the MBA students and devote the final two modules entirely to logistics project management and new trends in the sector. Upon completion, you’ll earn the same official degree as students in any other track: the Master of Business Administration from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
In a globalized world, ensuring that products are available where they’re needed, when they’re needed, and in the best possible condition is practically a must for any company, regardless of its industry. This is where professionals who combine business leadership and management skills with expertise in the supply chain truly stand out. That’s why this MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management first trains you as a leader and then specializes you—not the other way around.
The program is registered in the RUCT under code 8000086, is equivalent to 90 ECTS credits, and, because it is an official program, grants access to doctoral studies. CESTE is a university center affiliated with UWTSD, so the degree is fully recognized in Spain, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. You can take the program in Zaragoza in person or from any city via distance learning, with both live and recorded classes.

Frequently Asked Questions About the MBA at the
, with a Specialization in Logistics and Transportation
We answer the most common questions about the Logistics and Supply Chain track of CESTE's MBA program.
What is the difference between a master's degree in logistics and transportation and CESTE's MBA with a specialization in logistics?
CESTE’s MBA with a specialization in Logistics provides training in business management and also offers specialization in the supply chain, whereas a master’s degree in logistics focuses solely on the sector’s operations. In the MBA program, you take four core modules in strategic management, finance, marketing, and human resources, as well as two modules specific to logistics. The program prepares students for executive roles, not just technical ones.
Is the specialization in Logistics and Transportation a separate master's program from the MBA?
No. Logistics and Supply Chain is one of the nine tracks in CESTE’s MBA program—the Official Master’s in Business Management and Administration—not a separate program. All tracks share the same foundation in business management and the same official degree, the Master of Business Administration from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, and differ only in the final two specialization modules.
What degree do you earn upon completing the MBA with a specialization in Logistics?
Students earn the official British Master of Business Administration degree, awarded by the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, with RUCT code 8000086 and 90 ECTS credits. CESTE is a university center affiliated with UWTSD, and the degree grants access to doctoral studies.
What is covered in the specialization modules in Logistics and Supply Chain Management?
The two specific modules in the curriculum are Project Management with a Focus on Logistics and the Supply Chain and New Trends in the Logistics Sector. The first covers scope, timelines, costs, quality, risks, procurement, and Agile and Scrum methodologies. The second covers comprehensive logistics and network design, demand management through forecasting and demand planning, logistics execution involving warehousing, transportation, and reverse logistics, and new trends in sustainability, Supply Chain 4.0, omnichannel operations, and the circular economy.
What are the class schedules for the MBA in Logistics and Transportation?
Classes are held Monday through Thursday in the afternoon. In-person classes are from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and online classes are from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., both in Spanish time. All sessions are recorded so you can review them or catch up on a class you were unable to attend.
Do you have to live in Zaragoza to enroll in this MBA in Logistics?
No. CESTE is based in Zaragoza, where the in-person program is taught, but the master’s program can also be taken via distance learning from Huesca, Teruel, or any other city. Thanks to the live streaming, you can follow the classes in real time from any device and earn exactly the same official degree.
Who is the MBA with a specialization in Logistics and Transportation designed for?

What is the Beer Game, and why is it used in this master's program?
The Beer Game is a supply chain simulation game that models the bullwhip effect—that is, how a small variation in end-customer demand is amplified throughout the supply chain, leading to stockouts and excess inventory. In CESTE’s MBA program, it is used in conjunction with the Fresh Connexion simulation to train students in logistics decision-making, both individually and in teams.
How long is the MBA with a specialization in Logistics, and when does it start?
The coursework phase lasts 9 months, and the next session begins in September 2026. This is followed by the Master’s Thesis, a non-coursework phase that can take up to one year to complete.
