Master of Science [M.Sc] [Business with Logistics and Supply Chain Management] From Northumbria University

Specialist modules cover strategic procurement and how to manage the sustainability, quality and risks of supply chains. YouÕll develop your research skills through a masterÕs dissertation or an investigative consultancy project.

In the second year of this course youÕll undertake study in another country for one semester. Employers often prefer applicants who have a strong international awareness and studying abroad will help you stand out from others. Our partner institutions offer study related to the areas of operations, logistics and supply chain management and will increase your experience.

The course culminates in either a masterÕs dissertation or, if you prefer, a consultancy project. The dissertation is discipline specific, whilst the group consultancy project - where youÕll tackle an issue faced by a real client - is positioned in an area of relevance to the programme.

There is no requirement to have studied business or LCSM at undergraduate level.

The course is covered by the prestigious AACSB accreditation for Newcastle Business School, which was ÔBusiness School of the YearÕ at The Times Higher Education Awards 2015 and is also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS).

Our graduates typically go into professional and graduate management positions and, by the end of the course, youÕll be well-equipped to follow them. Thanks to the specialist modules Ð Strategic Procurement and Logistics, Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Risk, and the dissertation/consultancy project Ð youÕll have a particular edge in roles related to purchasing, logistics, planning, international trade and imports/exports.
