MSc Advanced Supply Chain Management

Supply chains make the world go around. Be part of that!

Programme Information

Are you interested to know how to organise the journey of a vaccine shipment from the other end of the world to Hungary in a way that the cold chain is not interrupted? Or how to reorganise the supply chain of your company if your Chinese partner is not able to export raw material, because the container filled with the ordered goods is stuck in the Suez Canal? If your answer is yes, your place is here!

At the Master Programme in Advanced Supply Chain Management you can learn the strategic and tactical decisions of supply chain management, from purchase through manufacturing to distribution. The objective of the programme is to train supply chain managers who understand the relations of integrated corporate logistic management and are able to control the corporate logistics system and the supply chains and networks of companies. The professionals completing our programme — being in the possession of the necessary theoretical knowledge and modern practical solutions —are able to plan, analyse and develop intra- and inter-company logistics processes and to manage them in an efficient way.

This programme is the one-year version of the already well-known Master Programme in Supply Chain Management. Apply for it if you have previous experience or have learned about supply chain management previously.

Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us! The coordinator of the programme is Zsolt Matyusz (zsolt.matyusz@uni-corvinus.hu), who will be happy to answer all your questions!

Career opportunities

Students graduating from the Master Programme in Advanced Supply Chain Management may find jobs at multinational large companies, foreign or Hungarian SMEs. The available positions are wide-ranging, and all sorts of personalities can get something out of this area.

People who are more introverted and have a stronger analytic vein, may work in the fields of demand and supply planning, and in the comprehensive planning of supply chain management. Those fond of organising work may be offered good opportunities by logistics service providers or manufacturing companies in the field of customer relations. More extroverted personalities may be buyers, negotiators with suppliers, or may be salespersons or customer managers.

Online open day

On 10th January we will hold an online open day with English presentations!
