Post-MITx MicroMasters in Supply Chain Management pathway:
In addition to the standard full-time MSc in Supply Chain Management, we offer the option to join the MSc programme in the second semester if you have successfully completed the MITx MicroMasters. Completion of the MicroMasters will provide students with 60 credits of exemptions from the Loughborough MSc Supply Chain Management programme.
This pathway offers a way to enhance your understanding of varied supply chain topics and further your professional development through attainment of a full master’s degree. Students on this pathway will also undertake the Supply Chain Management Research Design (Distance Learning) module online. Once these requirements are met, students will register in time to attend the MIT SCALE Connect residential visit which takes place at the MIT Boston campus in January. You will complete the remaining 120 credits of the degree full-time at Loughborough University in central England.
