MSc Procurement, Logistics and Supply Chain Management — Your Future from China

Build the expertise to connect suppliers, operations and customers across borders while continuing to live in China. The MSc Procurement, Logistics and Supply Chain Management is offered online by the University of Salford in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College. Its internationally applicable theory can help you approach complex supply chain decisions with greater confidence, wherever your career takes you.

Earn an Internationally Recognised British Degree

Graduating from the programme means earning a British degree awarded by the University of Salford. You can pursue that qualification while living and working in China, without putting your ambitions on hold to relocate.

An internationally recognised degree can help you communicate your academic achievement to employers and professional contacts across borders. Combined with your experience, it can support the next step in a career shaped by international trade and interconnected supply chains.

Complete Your Studies 100% Online in as Little as One Year

The programme can be completed entirely online in as little as one year. That gives you a route to advanced study without leaving China or stepping away from the life you have built there.

Whether you want to deepen your knowledge in your current role or prepare for a new direction, the online format lets you work towards a substantial academic goal alongside your other commitments. Your own completion time will depend on your study path and circumstances.

Study Without Scheduled Online Attendance

You do not need to be online at specific times or dates to participate in the programme. Instead of arranging your day around live attendance, you can engage with your studies at times that suit your schedule.

That flexibility can be valuable when work takes you across time zones or your responsibilities change from week to week. You can plan your learning around the demands of your life while still keeping track of applicable coursework deadlines.

Take Your Learning Wherever You Go

Study from home in China, during a work trip or while travelling elsewhere in the world. An online programme makes your learning less dependent on one place, so a change of location need not interrupt your progress.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a practical way to make use of travel time and stay connected to your academic goals even when an internet connection is unavailable.

Apply Your Knowledge Through Open-Book Assessments

The programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question-and-answer exams. This approach gives you opportunities to work with ideas and resources as you develop your understanding of procurement, logistics and supply chain management.

For a field where decisions often involve weighing evidence and considering competing priorities, that style of assessment can feel especially relevant. It encourages you to focus on how concepts can be used, not simply recalled.

Learn from Globally Educated Faculty

Your tutors and faculty bring academic backgrounds that include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied educational experiences can add valuable perspectives to your learning.

As you examine challenges in procurement and supply chains, you can benefit from guidance shaped by different academic traditions. That breadth complements a programme designed for students whose ambitions extend beyond any single market.

Join a Truly International Learning Community

Robert Kennedy College has a diverse student base spanning more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different professional and cultural experiences can broaden the conversations you have and the perspectives you bring to complex problems.

Alumni work for international organisations including SAIC, DHL, Dell, Orange, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, Tencent, Sinopec, JKFZ Cambridge International School, RYB Educations, CNOOC, Petrochina, AIA, ICBC Standard Bank, ICBC Bank, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Siemens and Sony.

Wherever your own career leads, this international community can make your studies more than an individual pursuit. It is a chance to encounter ideas and experiences from across industries and borders.

Plan Your Investment with Monthly Instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time may make it easier to plan your studies alongside your other commitments.

Having a clear payment option allows you to consider your next academic step as part of a longer-term career plan. You can focus on the knowledge and qualification you hope to gain while choosing an available instalment schedule that suits your circumstances.

Put Your Knowledge to Work in China’s Major Industries

China’s manufacturing and automotive sectors bring together extensive supplier networks, production operations and distribution channels. For graduates interested in these fields, internationally applicable procurement and supply chain theory can provide a framework for thinking about sourcing choices, supplier relationships, inventory and resilience.

In e-commerce, electronics and logistics, moving products reliably from production to customers calls for coordination across many organisations. The programme can help graduates analyse questions around demand, transport, service levels and operational efficiency—skills relevant to businesses serving both domestic and international markets.

Energy and infrastructure also depend on effective procurement and the movement of materials, equipment and information. Graduates living in China can use the programme’s concepts to approach complex projects and cross-border supply chains with a broader strategic perspective, whether they aim to grow in an existing role or explore a new opportunity.
