Supply Chain Management

The focus on supply chain is cyclical. Usually, it is an invisible force that everyone expects to be running smoothly. But moments of crisis often shine a spotlight on the sector and then it suddenly becomes apparent how big an impact logistics failures can have. Consider, for example, the air traffic that was shut down during the pandemic, leaving not only travelers but also cargo stranded at airports. Because supply chain – more than almost any other industry – is highly subject to a variety of other industries, stakeholders and political decisions, it is all the more important to fill the sector with skilled professionals.

As an alumnus of the Global Supply Chain Management program, you will know the ins and outs of your industry and how to purposefully analyze, manage and improve these chains. This will enable you to stand your ground in this turbulent, but extremely exciting environment.

• A futureproof career

With globalization came new trading opportunities. There is no turning back from that world, where packages are on your doorstep the very next day. On the contrary, each new social movement creates new models for production, transportation and every other step in the supply chain. Make your mark on the industry with your fresh ideas and impressive leadership.

• Thoroughly international focus

The multicultural perspective offered by the Global Supply Chain Management program is inherent to the entire AMS philosophy, but it proves doubly useful in the logistics sector, which craves smooth communication between cultures around the world. The diverse backgrounds in your class, the international dedication of our faculty, and a study trip abroad provide the perfect preparation.

• Impressive networking opportunities

In the supply chain, every stakeholder matters. One link can make the difference between a great success or a fiasco. We will teach you how to keep an overview, how to correctly deal with all those parties, and we will introduce you to a collection of potential employers and partners. You can build your network and learn to carefully navigate all these relationships in real time.

• Experienced lecturers

Our faculty is composed of a healthy mix of academics and practicing professionals. You will learn to look at the industry through both lenses, developing a sustainable, multifaceted and nuanced perspective that will continue to propel you throughout your logistics career.

We are thrilled to hear that again and again, because at AMS, your personal development is as important as your professional development. Soft skills are as important as hard skills.
