Students who choose their specialization subjects in the field of logistics management and are writing a topic related diploma thesis have the possibility - by means of an additional examination - to obtain a personal certificate of the TÜV.

Procedure

Completion of the following courses is required (Completion is not mandatory, it will be reviewed):

  • 330.164 Logistik
  • 330.177 Automobillogistik
  • 330.178 Beschaffungs- und Produktionslogistik

The individual certificates of the LVAs must be sent to Mr. Markus Steinlechner (markus.steinlechner@tuwien.ac.at) in the course of the registration email for the examination.

After that, a written examination (multiple-choice test, 20 single and/or multiple-choice questions; the examination is considered positive if at least 65% of the points are achieved; duration of the examination 45 minutes) must be passed. It is necessary to register for the exam by filling in a registration form on the day of the exam before the exam. If the test result is negative, a second attempt is possible. The examination questions are based on the contents of the LVAs under point 1.

Following the written examination, an oral subject examination will be held. There will be 2 questions on the topic of logistics management. The assessment is based on the school grading system.

Furthermore, a project paper has to be completed: Minimum length 20 pages, guideline 5,500 words (A4. Font Arial, font size 10, line spacing 1.5 or equivalent; excl. title page, table of contents, images and appendices); assessment is based on the school grading system. -> A relevant seminar paper or project from the Logistics Management module can be submitted as a project paper. The TÜV decides whether this is sufficient in terms of content and form.

Examination

The next examination will take place on 4.2.2019 in HS1 of Theresianumgasse 27.

Examination registration

The registration for the exam is done via email to Mr. Markus Steinlechner (markus.steinlechner@tuwien.ac.at). As described in point 1, the individual certificates of the LVAs must be sent in the course of the registration email for the examination.
