Description: Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC) signed in March 2009 a joint agreement with FUNED (Fundacion Mexicana para la Educación, la Tecnologia y la Ciencia, A. C.), with the objective of awarding one joint scholarship for a qualified applicant from Mexico to undertake the MIT-Zaragoza Master of Engineering in Logistics & Supply Chain Management (ZLOG) program in the academic year 2010-2011.

FUNED is a private non-profit organization created with the sole purpose of contributing to improve the level of higher education in Mexico. The foundation fulfills its mission by offering complementary financing to Mexican students to help them obtain a masters degree from a reputable University. Through this education they can obtain added knowledge and multicultural vision which they can eventually user to help Mexican organizations to keep pace with the accelerated advance in management, productivity, science and technology of the global economy.

The MIT-Zaragoza Master of Engineering in Logistics & Supply Chain Management program attracts top students from around the world to study and perform research in Zaragoza, Spain. The ZLOG program builds on the successful curriculum at MIT, which has consistently been ranked first by US News & World Report in logistics and supply chain management. As part of the program, ZLOG students travel to the U.S. to attend seminars at MIT and visit companies. ZLOG requires nine months of full time study in English. In addition to core and elective coursework, the curriculum includes a thesis project that typically involves one or more companies. The program develops the analytical and leadership skills that companies seek in an increasingly technological and international marketplace.

Highlights: The MIT-Zaragoza Master of Engineering in Logistics & Supply Chain Management (ZLOG) requires nine months of full time study in English, beginning in late August and concluding with commencement the following May. ZLOG builds upon the successful curriculum at MIT, which is consistently ranked first in the area of logistics and supply chain management. Students must complete core and elective coursework, a master's thesis, and participate in the International Exchange. Graduates receive a master's degree from the University of Zaragoza and a certificate from the MIT-Zaragoza International Logistics Program.

Each year, a select group of students from around the globe are chosen to join the academic-industrial setting of the Zaragoza Logistics Center (ZLC). The admissions process ensures that the individuals invited into the Master's (ZLOG) and PhD programs are well-prepared for intensive studies in logistics and supply chain management and positioned for success upon graduation. Diversity in the student body is an important characteristic of the ZLC programs. While applicants are expected to have an aptitude for analytical thinking, a previous degree in engineering is not required. Work experience from a variety of operational and management responsibilities provides a valuable background for the ZLOG program. However, we do welcome exceptional students with little or no work experience. We invite applicants from a wide range of backgrounds.
