Delivered through the UK SCALE Centre, the MSc Supply Chain Management combines analytical and practical skills development with opportunities to work on real-world supply chain challenges. The programme is shaped by Loughborough University’s collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Centre for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL), and students benefit from the programme’s connection to the MIT Global SCALE Network.
A central feature of the MSc is the three-week SCALE Connect residential at MIT in Boston, where students take part in seminars, career development workshops, industry talks, advanced training and team-based activities alongside participants from across the Global SCALE Network.
Students also complete an industry-focused Capstone project, applying their learning to live supply chain challenges and developing the research, problem-solving and project management skills needed for future careers in the sector.
