This MSc degree will equip learners to work in management positions such as operations, logistics or supply chain management (SCM) in both national and international organisations. They will be able to secure operational, strategic, and financial roles within global supply chain and logistics systems. Furthermore, graduates can work in the areas of procurement management, purchasing management, and materials management in those organisations, both indirectly and directly.
