Programme structure

The Masters programme covers two years of studies on top of a bachelor of science in engineering - or a bachelor of engineering degree, or another relevant bachelor degree.

The Master's programme in Supply Chain Digitalisation is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects of supply chain digitalisation.

First semester

In the first semester, the student will gain knowledge and experience with the fundamental knowledge of supply chain management and advanced methods for data handling. Before using it for decision-making, data must be collected, handled, and integrated. Therefore, emphasis will be put on understanding the journey of data along the supply chains and later exploiting technologies to enable data integration and systems interoperability. Providing accurate data is just the first step, but it is essential for the digitalisation of supply chains.

Second semester

In the second semester, students will expand their knowledge and experience with advanced supply chain quantitative methods. They will explore tools such as machine learning, simulation, and automation, focusing on how to use these tools to address operational, tactical, and strategic challenges. Additionally, greater emphasis will be placed on sustainability and digital value chain strategies, enabling students to incorporate climate-friendly practices and modern digital solutions into supply chain management.

Third semester

In the third semester, the student will learn advanced techniques for developing sophisticated simulation models and exploiting machine learning for forecasting and inventory management. Besides, there are several options for the other half of the semester, in which students can take elective courses from other programmes, conduct part of the thesis work already in the third semester, join an entrepreneurial training to learn the first steps in building their own venture, or develop an In-Company project to address a real-life challenge within a company.

Fourth semester

In the last semester, the student will write a master's thesis on supply chain digitalisation-related topics.

This structure ensures that students gain both a broad and in-depth knowledge of supply chain digitalisation, with a strong emphasis on practical application and industry collaboration.
