Course Description

Our MSc Management (Supply Chain Management) takes a mixed theoretical and practical approach to provide you with the tools, techniques and knowledge for the study of supply chains and the way they work. As a result, you will learn and then apply the skills needed for the successful management of these vital commercial links that enable products and services to move from producer to consumer.

The course is completed on a full-time basis over one year and is designed to enable you to study the subject with no previous experience in business or management.

You will study core and optional modules as well as completing a dissertation. Core modules include global supply chain leadership, sustainable supply chain management, operations and supply chain management, strategy, business economics and accounting and organisational behaviour.

The course opens up significant opportunities for you to study and learn abroad through international study tours and summer schools organised with our overseas partners as well as the possibility of completing your dissertation abroad.

The Business School has an excellent reputation for its academic standards and teaching quality, and we are in an elite UK group that has been accredited by the three major business accreditation bodies, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the Association of MBAs and the European Quality Improvement System.

You will also be able to participate in events and activities in the School that will add to the sum of your business-related knowledge.

Grading & Study Time

The course is taught through a mixture of lectures and seminars with lectures providing key information on a particular topic. We also invite special guest speakers to the University, to give you an insight into supply chain management based on their own professional experience. Seminars take a small-group format, giving more opportunities to engage in debate and discussion as a follow-up to the lecture topics. You will also be expected to carry out a substantial amount of independent study outside timetabled contact hours in order to contribute fully in seminars and to prepare for assessments.  The course culminates in a dissertation or business project which both give you the opportunity to apply knowledge that you have learnt during the course. The assessment regime aims to test your knowledge and understanding of the course material. You will carry out written assignments of usually around 2,500 words and sit examinations. The dissertation or business project makes up one-third of your MSc.
