Why attend a program at NISCI?

• Earn a Master of Science. Gain in-depth, practical knowledge and skills relevant to your career, work with leading global companies on innovative research projects, and develop leadership capabilities in the supply chain field.
• Prime Location. The Ningbo-Zhoushan Port, located on the coast of the East China Sea in Zhejiang province, has been ranked No.1 in the world for the last decade in terms of cargo tonnage, with 1.4 billion tons of volume in 2025. The port lies south of Hangzhou Bay, across from Jiaxing and Shanghai, and is at the crossroads of the north-south inland and coastal shipping route.
• Logistics Nexus. Ningbo is a global leader in cargo logistics. The steady exchange of supply chain expertise and talent enables companies to further expand and diversify the region’s economic growth.
• Learn Chinese. Though instruction is in English, the program includes Chinese language instruction for students who wish to improve their ability to communicate effectively not only with peers, faculty, and researchers, but also in business and industry settings.
• Affordable Tuition. At CNY 150,000 (approximately $23,000) for the 1-year MS with Nottingham University, the MIT-Ningbo program offers the most affordable tuition among the SCALE master's degrees.
