The School offers five closely-related MSc courses in the field of Operations Management.
- MSc in Operations Management
- MSc in Operations Management and Manufacturing Systems
- MSc in Industrial Engineering and Operations Management

For senior managers the School also offers:
- Part-time Executive MSc in Global Supply Chain Management.
These courses focus on the management of operations in manufacturing, service and distribution enterprises. They will prepare managers who will be able to help their companies build a competitive edge based on high levels of technical and managerial competence. The courses aim for a high level of integration between management techniques and the technologies that they control, with emphasis on the strategic relevance of solutions.
Applications are welcome from graduates in engineering, management, and related disciplines. The courses are suitable for you if you want to pursue a career in operations management whether or not you have a first degree in a closely related area.
The full-time courses require a major individual dissertation project that is undertaken in the summer. This is intended to integrate knowledge, methodology and practical skills. When these projects are successful in advancing knowledge, we encourage our students to present their findings as conference papers or journal articles.
