The logistics industry is one of the key service sectors driving the development of Singapore as a critical hub in the global supply chains.
As globalization drives multi-national companies to expand across the region, supply chains that Singapore based companies are part of have become even more complex, demanding a higher level of skill-set to design, analyze and manage them. The M.Sc. (Supply Chain & Logistics) program aims to address the needs of both the manufacturing and service sectors with an integrated and comprehensive program in Supply Chain and Logistics, equipping graduates with the right set of skills to manage end-to-end order fulfilment, including procurement and inventory management. The program also provides the candidates an appreciation of the role logistics functions, such as distribution, warehousing and transportation, play in facilitating the supply chain.
Candidates must possess
(A) A good bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Industrial engineering or a related discipline with mathematical and production training, or
(B) A bachelor's degree in engineering or a related discipline with mathematical training and 2 years relevant industry experience, and
(C) A good TOEFL score (iBT = 100 or more, PBT = 600 or more, CBT = 250 or more) or IELTS score (6.5 or more) for graduates of universities in which English is not the medium of instruction.
Related disciplines include but are not limited to bachelor's programmes offered by the College of Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Business graduates will also be considered if they have relevant specialisation and/or relevant experience; relevant experience needs to be supported by a letter from the employer.
Applicants are recommended to also provide letters of reference and a clear statement of purpose in support of their application.
