Three pillars
Excellence in Supply Chain Management is quickly becoming a key factor in companies' competitive advantage. Companies worldwide spend up to 20 or 30 per cent of their overall costs of logistics, while proficiency in the supply chain is demanded in management positions throughout organisations.
A degree in Supply Chain Management opens doors to leadership roles across diverse industries, from transportation to manufacturing, positioning you as a key decision-maker.
Programme structure
This Master programme is built on three pillars:
- Education consists of core, specialisation and elective modules. You can to a large extent determine your own course while developing all the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies of a professional in international business.
- Research is the focus of the final stage of our programmes. You will complete your studies with a thesis research project, which can revolve around a theoretical subject or a project executed for an existing organisation.
- Personal development is encouraged through a system that invites you to set your own particular study goals - and continually test those choices.
Curriculum
The curriculum of the Master programme consists of general modules, specialisation modules and a leadership development track. This design was adopted to create the combination of knowledge, skills and competencies that all professionals in the business field must have.
The first year will focus on the understanding of general modules which will provide a solid foundation for the Master's Degree. During lectures and assignments, you will learn how to apply various tools which will help you develop your insight with regards to supply chain, as well as management. The second year of the programme will be about specialisation and therefore will consist of writing multiple essays which analyse and solve real-life that are linked to port and maritime management. The final stage of your degree will be an individual thesis assignment, that will resolve a practice-based issue that is relevant to your professional field.
