The MSc in Supply Chain Management with Humanitarian Challenges at the University of Huddersfield is a 24-month full-time programme that provides both the strategic management framework and practical toolkit required for managing logistics and supply chains in the context of real-world humanitarian challenges. In addition to building core competencies in effective supply chain management, students study humanitarian problems arising from contemporary global trends such as forced migration, the use of chemical weapons, desertification and global inequality.
The programme also examines the relationship between business and human rights, exploring how these issues impact on the logistics sector and on best business practice. Students complete in-depth research into a humanitarian theme of their choice. The University of Huddersfield is a modern university in West Yorkshire, consistently performing well in national and international rankings. Graduates are prepared for careers in humanitarian logistics and supply chain management with NGOs, UN agencies, government bodies and private sector organisations engaged in humanitarian relief and crisis response.
