Introduction
MSc Operations and Supply Chain Management
Operations and supply chain management is much more than simply moving items from A to B. It’s a diverse, evolving discipline that's fundamental to the flow of goods all around the world – adapting to changing consumer expectations, shifting economic conditions and emerging technologies, among a range of other global issues. This course offers the advanced understanding and practical skills to master it all.
You will learn from leaders in the field – exploring the latest issues around supply chain sustainability and the international regulatory environment, while getting to grips with enterprise systems like SAP and tackling the challenges of managing strategic procurement.
We also offer a range of option units, giving you the chance to shape your studies around your interests and professional aims – offering skills in business analytics, project management and more. From there, you’ll be ready for your dissertation, picking a topic of your own interest and putting the theory into practice.
