MSc Supply Chain Management

Loughborough University

Acquire knowledge and analytical skills to build a thriving career in supply chain management and logistics through this one-year master’s programme. This programme has been developed as part of a unique collaboration between Loughborough University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Centre for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL). Our MSc combines the latest academic theory with sought-after practical skills and opportunities to gain industry experience through a supply chain management consultancy project. Loughborough University is the only UK-based centre of the MIT Global SCALE Network. At the core of the Centre offering is an MSc in Supply Chain Management. Graduates will earn an MSc degree from Loughborough University and will receive a Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management Certificate awarded by the MIT Global SCALE Network upon graduation. Additionally, graduates will gain Associate Alumni status from MIT, providing access to certain privileges within the MIT Alumni Association, such as the online alumni directory and networking opportunities. A central component of the programme is the MIT SCALE Connect residential, which takes place over three weeks at the MIT campus in Boston Massachusetts, and involves participants from across the Global SCALE Network. During this period, students will engage in a series of career development workshops, seminars, and industry talks. They will also receive advanced training in areas such as data visualisation, Python, machine learning, and Llamasoft, and participate in facility tours and team-based challenges. The residential concludes with a Research Expo, where students present their work on industry-sponsored and other real-world research projects. To attend the transformative three-week residential at MIT in January 2026, you will need to ensure you have the appropriate visa, most likely the US B1/B2 combined visa*. Be aware that securing a visa appointment can take time, so we encourage you to arrange this as quickly as possible. If you’ll need a UK Student visa to study with us, we recommend prioritising your application to ensure a smooth arrival for the start of your MSc in Supply Chain Management. Checking your visa requirements for both the US and the UK early on will help you avoid any delays and ensure you’re all set for this exceptional global learning experience.
