After two years of preparation, Thuongmai University has officially announced the launch of a Bachelor’s program in Logistics and Supply Chain Management starting in 2019. This initiative aligns with Vietnam’s national strategy to enhance the competitiveness of logistics services.
In 2017, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 200/QĐ-TTg, approval for the action plan for improvement of competitiveness and development of Vietnam’s Logistics Services by 2025. In this action plan, education and human resource development is identified as one of six key priorities for national implementation.
Vietnam is currently facing a serious shortage of qualified professionals in the logistics sector. According to the Annual Logistics Report 2018 by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Vietnam will require an estimated 2 million trained logistics workers by 2030, with a substantial share expected to hold university degrees.
The new bachelor program in Logistics and Supply Chain at Thuongmai University is a timely and strategic contribution to the country’s logistics sector development. The university plans to enroll 100 students in the first intake, with the goal of expanding enrollment in subsequent years. Currently, the program is not yet offered in English.
