MSc Sustainable Supply Chain Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year

Masters Degree Description

On our Sustainable Supply Chain Management (MSc) programme, you’ll learn to design, manage, and transform supply chains that are efficient, ethical, and built for a sustainable future.

You’ll explore how sustainability principles can power every stage of supply chain strategy, operations, and design. You’ll learn how to reduce environmental impacts, improve social responsibility, and deliver long-term value to businesses.

From circular economy operations and responsible sourcing to climate risk, digitalisation, and sustainable procurement, you’ll gain both the theory and practical tools to make data-driven, high-impact decisions in complex global environments.

You’ll work with industry experts and academic leaders, tackle real-world case studies, and use simulation and research-led projects to solve sustainability challenges head-on.
