MSc Procurement and Supply Chain Management (with Placement Year)

The programme delivers a structured curriculum that builds advanced knowledge of general management alongside specialised procurement and supply chain expertise. Core modules cover economic foundations, supply chain dynamics, quality management frameworks, strategic purchasing principles, legal aspects of procurement, financial analysis for managerial decision‑making and operations strategy. Instruction combines lectures, seminars, workshops, case studies, simulations and supervised project work to develop analytical, decision‑making and communication competencies. A capstone research project requires independent investigation of a real organisational issue, integrating theoretical concepts with practical data collection, analysis and presentation. Assessment comprises written assignments, detailed reports, oral presentations and a practical skills evaluation, ensuring comprehensive competence for senior roles in diverse industries. The full‑time pathway spans twelve months with flexible start dates in September and January, and incorporates industry‑linked projects, professional accreditation and networking opportunities through guest lectures and placement programmes.
