That flexibility can make a postgraduate qualification a practical next step alongside your existing commitments. You can keep building your career while working towards a new academic milestone.

Study without fixed online attendance times

The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates. Instead of arranging your life around scheduled live attendance, you can engage with your studies when it suits your routine.

That freedom is especially valuable when workdays change, family commitments arise or colleagues operate across time zones. You can plan your learning time while still meeting the requirements and deadlines of the programme.

Take your learning wherever you go

Study from home in Lisbon, elsewhere in Portugal or anywhere in the world with an internet connection. Your location need not put your educational ambitions on hold when work or life takes you elsewhere.

While travelling, you can also use the mobile app to download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a way to make use of time on the move, even when a reliable connection is not available.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you an opportunity to work with resources as you develop and communicate your ideas.

For a subject shaped by complex decisions and competing priorities, this approach lets you focus on understanding concepts and applying them thoughtfully. The aim is not simply to recall information, but to use what you learn.

Learn with internationally educated faculty

Your tutors and faculty bring varied academic backgrounds to the online learning experience. They include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Learning from educators with a range of academic experiences can broaden how you think about procurement, logistics and supply chain management. Their perspectives can encourage you to question assumptions and approach challenges with curiosity.

The online student community spans more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different professional and cultural perspectives can enrich discussions and help you see supply chain questions from more than one angle.

Alumni work for international organisations including DHL, Dell, Orange, Bosch, CK-HUTCHISON, BASF, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, the United Nations, Google, ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied career paths reflect the breadth of organisations in which graduates of the wider learning community contribute.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

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

With a clearer payment schedule, you can focus on the learning ahead: strengthening your understanding of sourcing, logistics and the decisions that help supply chains perform.

Connect your ambitions to opportunities in Lisbon

Lisbon’s Atlantic location and port activity make transport, distribution and international trade natural areas in which to apply supply chain thinking. For graduates working with importers, exporters, freight providers or businesses coordinating deliveries, the programme’s frameworks can support better questions about supplier relationships, inventory and the movement of goods.

The city’s technology and digital commerce sectors also depend on dependable purchasing and fulfilment, even when their customers and partners are spread across countries. Graduates can bring a procurement and logistics perspective to growing businesses that need to evaluate suppliers, manage risk and scale operations responsibly.

Lisbon’s tourism and hospitality economy creates another setting for these skills. Hotels, restaurants and visitor services rely on timely sourcing and well-coordinated operations to serve customers consistently. Whether you want to progress in one of these sectors or pursue an international role while living in Lisbon, this MSc can help you build knowledge to apply across different organisations and markets.
