The Integrated Logistics Management programs equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to master the modern integrated logistics environment and operate successfully in it. The Master of Engineering (Integrated Logistics Management) provides a postgraduate, vocationally-oriented program for practising managers in the field of integrated logistics management.

In combining elements of the programs presented by the Business School of Marketing and the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT has identified a logistics management and systems engineering approach that matches the needs of military organisations, defence-related industries and capital intensive industries. The coursework and the major research project give both depth and breadth towards studies.

Each stage of study is provided with flexible delivery modes to combine continuing education with the students’ busy work schedules.
