Part-time master studies of Business Logistics are an attractive combination of work and study. I am happy for my decision that it is never too late to learn, as I meet new interesting people and, of course, professional teachers. The quality of studies is high, the teachers are competent, pleasant and understanding. Friendly and respectful relationship between students and teachers prevail. Business Logistics studies are great opportunity for professional development.
