Entry requirements
Students are expected to hold a 2:1 Honours degree or a postgraduate diploma from a UK university (or overseas equivalent) in any subject. Those who exceed the minimum entry requirements will be given preference. While relevant experience is not a strict requirement, it will strengthen an application. We will also consider candidates without an Honours degree who have obtained a Level 6 professional qualification (e.g., Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS), or Institute of Supply Chain Management (IoSCM)) in any logistics and supply chain-relevant subject. In this case, the following two points will be applied: Two years relevant industry experience, Such as in logistics, business management, supply chain management, or related fields (e.g., operations, purchasing and procurement, warehousing). Roles should involve responsibilities such as supply chain processes, inventory management, quality management, project management, or operations that align with the MSc SCM curriculum’s focus. Industry reference letter: A reference letter from a current or previous employer is required to demonstrate the candidate's relevant professional experience. Candidates who hold one of these certifications (e.g., Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS), or Institute of Supply Chain Management (IoSCM)) and relevant 2 years of work experience will have their qualifications accepted as meeting the entry requirements.
