History
The Kuehne Logistics University evolved in September 2010 from Kühne School of Logistics and Management, the graduate business school for logistics management at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). The Kühne School was founded in 2003 as a public-private partnership by the Technical University of Hamburg and the Kühne Foundation as Hamburg School of Logistics, but was later renamed in honor of Klaus-Michael Kühne, a German entrepreneur who donated 3 million euro for the school's foundation, followed by an additional donation of 30 million euro four years later.[1]
Kühne School offered a full-time and a part-time in-service M.B.A. study program with a logistics management specialization, and two master’s programs, one in Logistics, Infrastructure and Mobility and the one other in International Industrial Engineering.
