About Logistics and Supply Chain Management, MSc - at Lancaster University Leipzig

Many western companies manufacture overseas. Massive logistics hubs now exist in countries such as China. Demand has therefore never been higher for people who can apply quality management science to supply chain and logistics management. The MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management programme can give you the skills to achieve this.

In close consultation with industry, this programme has been developed to focus on the practical aspects of logistics and supply chain management rather than academic theory. Lancaster University Leipzig offers a research-led teaching environment which is particularly strong in operations management and data analytics.

The ambition is to help shape the logistics and supply chain managers of the future, enabling them to analyse and solve problems and to make decisions with an awareness of the strategic context, the role of technology and of managing within and between organisations. The programme is designed to provide you with a solid core knowledge in operations and SCM, logistics management, procurement and supply, and analytics.

A speciality of this programme, which distinguishes it from other similar supply chain management programmes in other universities, is its focus on data and its analysis to drive important supply chain and logistics decisions.
