Other goals of the study program are:

• To offer the applicants from various logistic systems areas (forwarders, providers) and other areas the possibility to gain tertiary education in the bachelor study programs Logistics of Transport, Logistics of Services, Logistics of Tourism, and Information Management - because there is no other similar study program available in the Czech Republic.
• To provide education in the necessary theoretical knowledge from mathematics, physics, logistics, operations research, and informatics, applicable in various parts of logistics systems (transport, transport infrastructure, private and public services). This base is supplemented by education in economic and legal disciplines in transport, management, and services. The graduate has the prerequisite to apply this knowledge in solving transportation and service provision processes' practical problems.
• To conceive the bachelor-level studies, they enable the graduates to find work in managerial posts of various logistic companies, in companies dealing with logistic systems (transportation and forwarding), in institutions providing private and public services.
• To extend language preparation focused on cultural, political, and professional written and spoken communication to enable the graduates to find employment in international companies.

The study's length is two years, and the successful graduate earns a degree as a certified engineer.

College of Logistics is an active participant in the Erasmus program. The program allows students to spend a semester abroad at a partner institution in the EU and to obtain full academic credit. College of Logistics welcomes teachers and staff exchanges from partner institutions and wants to encourage and enable visiting professors from all over Europe to take part in the short exchanges for giving lectures to students in the fields of Logistics, Business and Administration, Economics, International Relations, and all related disciplines.

The study of Logistics of Transport specialization results from the current developments in the "management of material transport"– logistics. It is possible to apply means of modern computer technologies, including software and modern operating methods such as network analyses, multiproduct flows, vector optimization, genetic algorithms, etc., in the management of material transport.

The goal of the study is to teach students to utilize these modern technologies in managing transport flows both within the country and abroad, teach them to ensure the required transport reliably, which is one of the particular terms mainly in international trade and to ensure other accompanying services connected with transport (logistic services). Students are educated to apply those means in small and medium-sized companies engaged in the transport of goods. They may also work in firms and institutions with a higher number of transport means and dispatch departments of manufacturing firms. The Final State Exam consists of a Bachelor thesis defense and oral exam. The oral exam includes two compulsory subjects. The third subject is opted out of assigned professional subjects.

The graduate of the study program works in travel agencies as an independent officer for negotiation with institutions. He/she is capable of meeting individual customer requirements, create new offers of travel agencies. During the studies, he/she gains the competency to find and suggest locations attractive for tourists in the Czech Republic and incorporate them into new complexes.
