Description Contents Requirements

The MSc Operations and Logistics Management is a postgraduate degree in business and management with a focus on theoretical and practical skills. It is of particular relevance if you have recently completed an undergraduate degree in business management or engineering.

The programme provides the theoretical framework and practical skills that management professionals working in multinational corporations need in order to cope with an increasingly complex and global supply management environment. This is achieved by delivering the programme using an integrated approach with business management modules.

The Operations and Logistics Management programme at Surrey has two important benefits that distinguish it from similar programmes elsewhere. Firstly, we offer you training in the SAP system, the world-leading enterprise software suite. SAP experience is in high demand but very difficult to obtain at the graduate level. Our alliance with SAP ensures that you will be thoroughly acquainted with this important software application. Secondly, this programme offers a wider range of business and management-orientated modules than any other operations and logistics management programme, to make sure you are fully aware of the core management functions.

This programme comprises eight compulsory modules and a dissertation. Students will take four modules each semester plus a final dissertation module.
