What is a micro-credential?
A micro-credential is a certificate
that you obtain through a mini-course. These are short programs around
a theme that is tailored to the needs of the professional field.
Lectures can be followed online with recordings in self-study at your
own pace, or on-site (University of Antwerp City Campus) with physical
classes during working hours, as you prefer. Learning outcomes are
evaluated using transparent standards. When you pass a
micro-credential, you will receive a certificate according to a
European recognized standard. Some micro-credentials can be combined
into broader credentials or qualifications.

This course covers logistics at both the business

viewed from an integrated supply chain approach (Supply Chain
Management). Here, various topics such as physical distribution,
inventory management, forecasting, and storage and handling systems are
considered. The step to the macroeconomic level is taken by analyzing the location choice of companies.
