The contact sessions are organised mainly during weeknights and on some occasions also on a Friday evening and Saturday combination. Optionality, combined with an intensive thesis work also allows full-time study. The duration of the studies is 2 years.
Development
The curriculum of the Supply Chain Management degree programme was updated for studies starting in autumn 2011. This reform aimed at ensuring sufficient methodological and analytical skills. Each one also studies strategic thinking and leadership skills that are required in demanding expert and management tasks.
The offering of other advanced studies has been updated annually. The offering and the structure of different ensembles of know-how was streamlined. The courses give five credits (ECTS) and are comprised to form broader entities in order to achieve deeper learning. Course selection is easier for students and the whole is also clearer guidance-wise and administratively.
