MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

The master’s degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from Heriot-Watt University's Edinburgh Business School advances your career skills through developing a robust understanding of global logistics and supply chains supported by strategic and analytical tools for manging them in the modern business environment. The programme calls upon established global industry links and sector-leading research and practice to equip students with cutting-edge expertise.

Logistics and supply chain management is a key determinant of business competitiveness. The UAE government values the economic importance of logistics because the country is a major global logistics hub, with an estimated one third of the world’s logistics activity passing through the region. The UAE is also a popular regional supply and re-distribution gateway for global companies.

COVID-19 has maximised the importance of supply chains and logistics in managing global risk, and UAE’s logistics sector has played a key role in global efforts to overcome the pandemic. Students joining our programme will have the opportunity to gain subject expertise in supply chain risk management.

This MSc is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply. The programme has built a reputation for producing graduates of the highest calibre over the years. It will give you access to the knowledge of world-leading researchers, and allow you to gain professional insights direct from industry.
