Admissions Process

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.

All candidates for the ZLOG and PhD programs apply through the ZLC Admissions Office. Please direct any admissions inquiries to this address:

Statement of Interest
Each applicant will complete the statement of interest as part of the application form. In one page (less than 500 words) you should communicate your reasons for pursuing graduate work at ZLC and your professional objectives.

Resume
Relevant work experience is important, although not essential, for participation in the ZLOG program. Therefore, every applicant must provide us with a current resume. Please mail a copy of your resume to the ZLC Admissions Office.

GMAT/GRE Applicants are required to take either the GMAT or the GRE General Test, though exceptions may be granted for individuals who demonstrate strong achievement in completing a college degree - including some quantitative training - and evidence of advanced verbal and written proficiency in the English language. Exam registration information is available at the following websites.

GMAT: http://www.mba.com/mba/TaketheGMAT
GRE General Test: http://www.gre.org/generalreg.html

You will both self-report the GMAT or GRE scores on the application form and submit official score reports directly to the ZLC by using Institution Code 3803. The Institution Code is the same for both GMAT and GRE. For the GRE, please use Department Code 0000.

TOEFL
Since the ZLOG classes are taught in English, applicants from non-English-speaking nations should offer evidence of written and oral proficiency in the English language by taking the TOEFL. Alternative assessments such as IELTS or Cambridge Proficiency  may also be submitted. To register for TOEFL, write directly to:
