Kuehne Logistics University – Wissenschaftliche Hochschule für Logistik und Unternehmensführung (KLU) is a private, state-recognized university based in Hamburg, Germany. It was founded by the Kühne Stiftung (Kuehne Foundation) which is based in Schindellegi, Switzerland. The contracting body is the Kühne Logistics University GmbH. The non-profit foundation supports education and further education as well as research and science in transport and logistics. KLU comprises two departments: "Logistics" and "Management and Economics", and it spans the whole gamut of university education and executive education, from bachelor's degrees and two master’s programs to the structured PhD program. KLU is located at Hamburg’s HafenCity area and its classes are taught in English.
The Kuehne Logistics University evolved in September 2010 from Kühne School of Logistics and Management, the graduate business school for logistics management at the Technical University of Hamburg (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 in 2007. In conjunction with the opening ceremony of the new campus, Klaus-Michael Kühne donated an additional 40 million euro to the KLU.
Kühne School offered a full-time and a part-time in-service M.B.A. program with a logistics management specialization, and two master’s programs, one in Logistics, Infrastructure, and Mobility and the other in International Industrial Engineering.
All programs are accredited by either ASIIN or FIBAA. As a private higher education institution, the KLU has been accredited by the German Council of Science and Humanities (WR, Wissenschaftsrat) which regularly assesses the quality of private education undertakings in Germany. In its decision, the Wissenschaftsrat highlighted the international education at KLU and the quality of its research output.
