Message from Alumni

This programme is definitely one of the most popular master’s degrees among supply chain professionals. People recommended this programme to me mainly because it was very practical. For me, the most practical aspect was that it not only taught traditional academic theories and knowledge, but also addressed contemporary supply chain management issues - such as the latest technological trends and applications, supply risk management, and ethical and sustainable procurement practices. I learned a lot from the course lecturers, who were a good mix of top academics and experienced industry practitioners. When they complete the programme, graduates are eligible for exemptions from the qualifying exams for certain professional recognitions, which is very useful for career development. All in all, the programme took me to the next career level. I would recommend it to all aspiring professionals in the supply chain management field.

As a newbie in the field of supply chain management, I really appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity to learn on the MSc GSCM programme.

For me, there are three keywords when recommending this programme: high-quality, customisable, and connection.

First, the high-quality teaching in this programme helped me build up a comprehensive understanding of supply chain management. During my studies, I always had the chance to communicate with respectable, responsible, and knowledgeable professors.

Second, I was satisfied with the wide range of optional courses, and with the diverse teaching methodologies such as group projects, case studies, and simulation games. All of these were combined with typical lectures and tests.

Finally, and most importantly, I was able to learn and cooperate with brilliant classmates from a wide range of industries and backgrounds. Spending time with them helped me broaden my horizons and make rapid progress.

After this insightful learning experience, I’m now preparing to unlock my future career. I would highly recommend the MSc GSCM programme to anyone who is keen to explore supply chain management!
