Overview

The MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management programme calls upon established industry links and sector-leading research to equip students with the required expertise. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the importance of supply chain management in managing global risks. It will provide students with a robust understanding of global logistics and supply chains and the analytical tools for managing them in the modern business environment. The programme also gives you the opportunity to participate in real-life case studies and to develop the skills required to make informed decisions.

This programme gives those who have worked in the field the opportunity to formalise their knowledge through an MSc study, and offers an opportunity for others from different disciplines to gain new specialist knowledge and expertise within the area.

It blends latest academic thinking with best practices from the industry to give graduates and professionals the opportunity to advance with a highly employable skillset. The programme is also available for part-time study in Dubai, and can be completed over a duration of 24 months.
