Descriptions
During your studies in Procurement Master's Degree Programme, you enhance your competence as a procurement professional and learn to analyze and develop the procurement function to serve the goals and strategies of a company. The overall goal is to learn about driving value through the supply chain to the end customer, how procurement can be turned into a strategic function and utilize technology as an enabler of effective supply management, how sustainability and collaboration are at the core of procurement and learn how to sell the business case of procurement to the rest of the organization.
After your studies you have gained the needed theoretical and applied knowledge, skills, and competencies to manage and develop company's external resources, supplier relationships, procurement process and procurement organization. In addition to procurement specific competencies you enhance your leadership and business competencies.
Advanced professional studies in procurement include courses such as Strategic Procurement, Collaboration and Influencing skills, Procurement Technology, Procurement Performance Management, Procurement Innovation and Sustainability. Methodological studies provide students with the basis for carrying out applied research projects, and advanced professional studies provide the necessary knowledge and skills to follow the professional development of the field, both from research and practical viewpoints. You will learn tools of practical mindfulness, emotional intelligence and leadership to unlock your full potential at work and in life.
