There’s a very close connection between the latest academic knowledge and real-world business practice in RSM’s MSc Supply Chain Management. You’ll learn the latest theories and technologies in class from world-class researchers and academics, then you will see for yourself how supply chain knowledge works in the real world, because the Port of Rotterdam and other international supply chain hubs are right on your doorstep.
You can launch your career almost immediately. On average it takes only a month and a half to find a job after graduating from this programme; that’s faster than any of our other master graduates. Two-thirds of graduates from this programme said it was relatively easy to find a job for their first career move, according to our MSc Graduate Employment Report in 2019.
Many of them take their first career steps in logistics, consumer goods or consulting, as trainees, consultants and demand planners. The largest numbers of them work in large corporations, SMEs and large consultancy firms, but many students take other roles throughout the industry, perhaps starting their careers in supply chain or procurement. International graduates may find it slightly harder to find a job in logistics or shipping in Rotterdam itself, but your studies in this international port city give you a good view of international opportunities.
The MSc Supply Chain Management organises its own industry-specific career fair every November, and there are many other career events and services available at RSM throughout the year. You can find them all on www.rsm.nl/career-centre/events
A broad portfolio of topics from intra-logistics to strategic global collaborations between firms
Social and environmental sustainability as well as a focus on cost efficiency and performance
Working with variety of approaches to analysing the performance of supply chains, from analytic models to qualitative assessments
Your own positive changes to the practice of supply chain management
Are you eager to hear more about the programme from a current SCM student? In this video, students discuss some of the most asked questions about this programme, followed by insights from the programme's Academic Director.
It's quite practice-oriented, so I feel I am learning new skills every day from the real business world and from company visits and guest lectures; it’s a great way to integrate theories and practices. I enjoy the nice vibe, my smart classmates and the helpful professors, but most of all I enjoy the way the courses are designed. Our courses combine lectures and workshops in creative and interesting ways. For example, we visit a real warehouse after learning about warehouse assessing; and we go to a logistics industry fair to find innovative solutions. I feel that professors and staff work very hard to teach us as much as possible and efficiently. If you are interested in logistics or supply chain, and want to learn data analysis and elementary programming for the real business world, then this is for you! It’s a great starting point for a career in logistics, in a supply chain department or a consultancy role in these fields.
