UNNC and MIT SCALE launch joint supply chain master’s programme
16 December: Ningbo, the world’s largest cargo port, now has a supply chain management master’s programme delivered jointly by University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) and the MIT SCALE network Ningbo Institute for Supply Chain Innovation (NISCI). Local and international firms will benefit from a new source of professionals to plan and operate complex global supply chains.
The MIT SCALE Nottingham Ningbo Supply Chain Management Masters provides advanced knowledge in planning and management of supply chain operations. Graduates will be awarded an MSc in International Business (Supply Chain Management) from the University of Nottingham, UK, along with a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) graduate certificate.
The joint programme combines the resources of both UNNC and MIT SCALE to offer students plentiful on-campus and online resources. Students have the opportunity to visit MIT in the USA for three weeks’ study joining participants from other MIT SCALE Programmes in Spain, Malaysia, Luxembourg, China, Latin America and the US. At MIT, they will engage in seminars, workshops, competitions and industry visits. Students also have internship opportunities with numerous companies, such as Geely Automobile, YTO Express and Yunda Express.
Outstanding academics in the operations and supply chain management (SCM) field teach on the programme. They are active in supply chain related research, and not only publish papers in top journals but also work closely with industry to advance SCM. For example, Professor Antony Paulraj, Li Dak Sum Chair Professor in UNNC, was recently recognised as one of the top 2% of academics in this field and leads a Pan 3315 innovation team project on “Research and development of smart supply chains in Ningbo”.
Professor Hing Kai Chan, Professor of Operations Management at UNNC and Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology, is another in the world top 2%. He and Professor Jing Dai, Director of Postgraduate Programmes and Professor in Operations Management at UNNC, are both Expert Committee Members of “Supply Chain Innovation and Applications Committee" in the Ningbo Municipal Commerce Bureau.
Besides, students will also have opportunities to attend the lectures by Professor Jay Guo, Dean of NISCI, Professor Yossi Sheffi, Director of the MIT Centre for Transportation and Logistics (CTL), and Dr Chris Caplice, Executive Director of MIT CTL.
The programme is already open for applications and the first cohort of students will be admitted in September 2021. Applicants are expected to hold an honours degree at 2:1 level or above (or international equivalent) in business, management, engineering or a science-related discipline.
This is a one-year full-time course. Students choose to complete the programme with either a dissertation or an applied project.
UNNC is the first Sino-foreign university, established in 2004. More than 26% of its graduates remaining in further education are admitted to World Top 10 universities including MIT, and 75% of those seeking employment go on to work at World 500 companies and other top enterprises. NISCI was jointly established by MIT of Cambridge, USA and the Chinese government.
