With ever changing market dynamics and global reach becoming increasingly important, the MSc in Supply Chain and Logistics Management is designed to equip graduates with the ability to manage complex supply chain decisions with a focus on value creation.
The key themes of sustainability, supply chain resilience, and digitisation run throughout the programme and underpin the central concept of a supply network. As a student, you will master supply chain decision modelling across the different stages in a supply chain and will go through a structured learning journey from understanding customer requirements and translating them into functional requirements and design parameters, to strategic procurement, production scheduling, and distribution planning. You will develop competencies in data analytics and sustainable supply chain design, and will understand the impact of supply chain and logistics dynamics on organisational performance and competitiveness.
The shift towards more sustainable practices across the wider supply chain is now more critical than ever. Sustainability, however, is complex, with objectives across economic, environmental, and social factors that don’t always align. The course aims to develop your skillset to manage these trade-offs in order to design a more sustainable future.
As the world moves towards a more digitised platform, the course will also look at current and future planned developments in supply chain digitisation such as integrating cloud-based supply chain infrastructure; blockchain technology-based product traceability and information security; and robotics and artificial intelligence in logistics and warehousing operations.
The Modules you will cover on this course are:
In addition to the taught modules, you will complete a dissertation project which is worth a third of your final Master's grade (60 credits). This substantial individual project is designed to strengthen your academic and research skills, while allowing you to explore a specific area of supply chain and logistics management that reflects your interests and career goals. The project will be presented as a written dissertation, submitted at the end of the academic year.
This programme is accredited by The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and The Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS). It is ranked 28th globally (1st in the UK) in the Eduniversal Best Masters 2024 ranking for 'Supply Chain and Logistics' courses.
