MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Rationale of the Course

admissions@city.academic.gr
The MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management has been designed to develop outstanding professionals in the field of logistics and supply chain management. Both fields deal with managing the flow of goods from a company's suppliers, through its facilities, and to its customers. This process of logistics services is of critical importance in establishing a global competitive advantage. Effective performance of the logistics functions can contribute to both lower costs and enhanced customer service.
The trend in the industry today is towards integrative job profiles such as supply chain manager and logistics manager. This MSc programme aims to prepare students to successfully compete for these positions. It is addressed but not limited to students who recently acquired their bachelor's degree in business studies, engineering and mathematics.
An Extra Degree for our MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management Graduates!
Students completing the MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management programme are offered concurrently with our MSc, CMI's most senior qualification: the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management & Leadership by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and thus gain two prestigious degrees from one programme.
