I looked for a program that would connect directly with the areas where I already had some experience in logistics. I started with fairly moderate expectations, mainly because the course was online, but what we quickly discovered is that we were able to interact in a very fluid way. We managed to communicate easily within a group of 40 people. And the immersive weekend ended up solidifying all the connections we had already been building. It was quite intense, but very interesting.

This course gave me a strong practical foundation, which was exactly what I was looking for, and this weekend was a perfect example of that. It was an immersive experience that allowed us to gain first-hand insight into the reality of how companies operate. I would also highlight the quality of the faculty, who strike an excellent balance between theoretical concepts and real-world business cases. Equally valuable was the opportunity to exchange experiences and perspectives with the other participants. For someone like me, who is already in the job market, this programme provides an excellent opportunity to apply the knowledge gained in day-to-day work and create real value for organisations.

Hello, I’m part of the delivery team and interact frequently with logistics, so I felt I needed a stronger theoretical foundation to complement what I already do in my daily work. Right now, I’m in the immersive weekend, and we’re doing exactly what I hoped for when I enrolled: working on a real company challenge. We’re applying everything we’ve learned, and it has been incredibly interesting.

This postgraduate program has been a key milestone in my professional development. It has allowed me to strengthen my knowledge, develop new skills, and acquire practical tools that I can apply in my day-to-day work. This weekend has been a fantastic experience. Beyond the learning itself, it has provided an excellent opportunity to build a strong professional network with people from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. I come from the healthcare sector, but I have learned a great deal from colleagues working in other fields, and that exchange of perspectives has been incredibly valuable. The business case we are working on allows us to put into practice everything we have learned throughout the program, making the experience both dynamic and closely connected to real business challenges. After spending so many months seeing each other only through Zoom, it has been especially rewarding to finally meet in person, collaborate as a team, and share experiences face to face. I would highly recommend this postgraduate program to anyone looking to develop their skills, learn from experienced professionals, and expand their professional network. I am confident it will be as rewarding for future participants as it has been for me.

I have been working in the Supply Chain and Logistics area since 2010, but my basic training is not linked to this area. I felt the need to cement my knowledge, organizing it, disciplining it from an academic point of view. I chose Iscte and specifically this course for several reasons: the panel of teachers, full of professionals with experience both in academia and in various companies; the curricular units, with core themes of supply chain knowledge but also with units that aroused my curiosity, such as, for example, AI in Supply Chain; This last point was also one of the reasons why I chose the course: to continue updating myself with the latest knowledge in the Supply Chain area and, if possible, predict the future; then, a fundamental component for me, the fact of being able to take classes remotely, being able to have flexibility due to the fact that I live abroad and have to travel frequently.

The postgraduate course in logistics has had an impact on my career and, by the way, even after these 6 months and the consolidation of the 12 years I had, I already had logistics and was able to apply some course materials. This immersive weekend I hope to complete successfully and it's been challenging and all in all a good experience.

This immersive weekend has been extremely positive, in that we've been able to combine what we've learnt in class with what real life is like in companies linked to this sector. I almost feel like saying that now I'm ready to take the course again, which in itself shows that it's been an extremely enriching and appealing course.

The program makes a transversal approach to very relevant matters in the logistics area, from the strategic plan to the operational plan, incorporating the most recent management currents, for the logistics area, with a focus on improving operational results through the development of core competencies. The relevance is all the more significant in the current pandemic context, which acts as an accelerator for the paradigm shift, being critical for companies to (re)adjust their business model.
