Increase your potential and apply knowledge to a real consultancy project with a CILT and CIPS accredited Master’s in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.
A full understanding of supply chain management and logistics is increasingly important in business and management. This MA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management explores supply chain networks in global and domestic contexts and prepares you to address issues such as cost reduction and service enhancement. Areas of study will include the functions of procurement, production, distribution and customer service, alongside a diverse range of designs and structures.
You will have the opportunity to visit industrial locations, attend seminars from industry guest speakers, and collaborate with business partners for a dissertation. In the final stage of this course, you will undertake a two-week consultancy project with selected companies.
How you will learn
Teaching
In a typical week, learning takes place through a combination of lectures and seminars. You'll be able to discuss and develop your understanding of topics covered in lectures in smaller group sessions. Contact hours may fall between 9am and 9pm, depending on your elective courses and tutorials.
Class sizes
The typical student intake per year is up to 20. Lectures are normally attended by 20-35, and seminars/tutorials by 15-30, based on our 2018 intake. This varies by module, particularly if they are shared between degrees.
Independent learning
Outside of timetabled sessions, you'll need to dedicate time to self-study to prepare for coursework, presentations and exams. Our Stockwell Street library and online resources will support your further reading and research.
You can also join a range of student societies, including the SMS Student Community.
Overall workload
Your overall workload consists of contact hours (lectures, seminars, etc), independent learning, and assessments. For full-time students, the workload should be roughly equivalent to a full-time job. For part-time students, this will reduce in proportion with the number of modules you are studying.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
