MSc In Operations And Supply Chain Management

Learn more about the programme

MSBM MSc in Operations and Supply Chain Management (SCM) is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of production and manufacturing processes, the movement of goods and services, inventory management, inbound and outbound shipping, and production scheduling. Over the last few decades, significant economic and political changes have led to a transformation of traditional supply chain management protocols. This has resulted in the emergence of innovative, technology-driven solutions that streamline complex processes and provide a competitive edge.

Given the current business landscape, pursuing a professional course in SCM is highly recommended. This program will keep you up-to-date with the latest approaches and solutions to supply chain management and enhance your expertise in globally-proven principles and practices. You will learn about a variety of techniques that are applicable to operational strategies in modern organizations. Moreover, this course will not limit your employment opportunities to the logistics and supply chain sectors but also prepare you for senior-level positions in other industries such as tourism, transportation, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.

Course Details

The course offers exciting opportunities to immerse yourself in real-time projects, capstone projects, seminars, and workshops. Expert trainers and mentors will satisfy your curiosity and provide you with ample opportunities to explore the field in detail. The holistic program will hone your personality and showcase your creative, problem-solving, and analytical skills to potential employers. The course prepares you for high-demand job roles such as supply planner, data scientist, and demand planner. The scarcity of skilled professionals in these fields opens up rewarding opportunities that promise significant growth and career development.
