Master of Science - Supply Chain Management and Logistics

Across international organisations, governments, industries, and services there are supply chains of systems, people, resources, and information that are all vital in keeping the world moving. In the Supply Chain Management and Logistics course students will be guided and supported by lecturers with extensive professional experience. The team behind this course have also been instrumental in commercial and policy formation of supply chains with European Commission and the UK Government.

Now, more than ever, it is vital for businesses across all industries to invest in their supply chains and embrace the latest digital technologies to optimise supply chain operations. In this course students will develop strategic operations skills that are highly sought after in any sector offering a product or service. Through a blend of core and optional course modules, students will get ready to address the challenges created by today's competitive, omni-channel supply chain environment and learn how to develop an agile, customer responsive, and profitable supply chain. Having been devised in consultation with leading employers in supply chain, this is a modern degree that will teach students skills that are in desperate need within the industry, including cutting edge digital practices such as blockchain, security, and governance. This will prepare students to tackle new challenges in the modern supply chain environment, such as financial fraud and sanctions violations. Importantly, students will find that the course takes a systematic view to supply chain, with each module building on the knowledge gained in the previous one, with interconnected content that helps them accumulate new skills in a logical sequence.

The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS). This offers full exemption from the educational requirements for Chartered Membership of both CILT and CIPS, providing students with access to a wealth of industry resources, and speeding up their journey to Chartered Membership of CILT.
