The Procurement & Sourcing specialisation track considers all the key components that contribute to an organisation’s profitability via its movement of goods and services through this global supply chain.
The global virtual classroom, in which you study, enables you to understand the practical and strategic implications of multinational supply chains and to learn directly from your professional counterparts in other parts of the world.

In addition, it demonstrates how successful sourcing and procurement can shape and influence the sales and profit ambition of a business. The intent is also to provide you with a profound understanding of the processes and techniques for developing procurement and sourcing strategies whilst managing the operations and supply chain activities.

Six core modules cover core subjects such as Strategic Operations Management, Supply Chain Operations Management, Logistics and International Trade, Business Analysis, Total Quality Management and Lean Thinking. You will then specialise by studying the Contracts and Procurement, and Financial and Legal Aspects of International Trade specialisation modules. You will complete your degree with an original dissertation.

The MSc in Operations and Supply Chain Management is the first wholly online programme to be accredited by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS), a globally recognised credential. Upon graduating, students are automatically eligible to apply to join a network of 60,000 purchasing and supply professionals from around the world who benefit from CIPS membership.
