Global Supply Chain Management MBA

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is the most coveted and internationally recognised postgraduate management degree in the world, and there's a good reason why. It is widely recognised as a passport to a successful management career, enabling managers with a functionalist role to take on a more senior, strategic position, and empowering senior managers to gain the in-depth, strategic knowledge they need to climb even higher.

Our outstanding MBA Global Supply Chain Management course offers you a life-changing opportunity to realise your full potential and specialise at an advanced level. This degree will develop your knowledge of the principles and concepts underlying the strategic and operational performance of organisations in relation to one another within the international supply chain. You will also demonstrate an understanding of the role of operations theory in evaluating the strategic implications of variation and uncertainty on supply chain performance.

Delivered in a world-class learning environment, by internationally acclaimed academics and business leaders, the course integrates theory and practice to bring you  hands-on experience, inspiring teaching and a clear international perspective. Here at Nottingham Business School, we are proud to have developed an innovative and rigorous MBA with opportunities to personalise your learning around your ambitions. This significantly strengthens your management knowledge, leadership capabilities and understanding of global business.
