Introduction

Sharpen your management skills and develop your knowledge of every step of the supply chain with our MSc International Logistics and Supply Chain Management in Chelmsford.

Already have an ARU degree? You may be eligible for our Alumni Scholarship for students starting postgraduate courses.

  • Study on a course designed in collaboration with industry experts
  • Take a holistic approach to supply chain management, covering all aspects of the supply chain from sourcing raw materials to product delivery.
  • Apply supply chain concepts and tools to solve complex problems and make strategic decisions.
  • Get hands-on to develop practical skills and knowledge that are directly applicable to the workplace.
  • Learn about technology integration including ERP and data analytics tools to optimise processes.
  • Benefit from a global perspective, covering international trade, global logistics, sustainability and cross-border logistics in a diverse cultural and geographical context.

You know that to successfully manage supply chains you need to know a lot, about a lot, and you relish the challenge of learning the theory and practice behind all the steps that get products from A to B.

You’re keen to learn more about the external factors that can cause delays and breakdowns in the supply chain – and how you can use your problem-solving skills to get things moving again.

Getting supplies to customers requires skills in project management, leadership, business analysis, strategic management, risk management and opportunity optimisation – all of which our specialist staff will help you develop.

There’s also the option to study at Chelmsford for two years and gain valuable experience in Year 2, with a choice of professional experience modules.
