The Master’s Programme in Supply Management provides expertise on strategic supply and supplier management. The programme is unique in Finland and it corresponds to the growing needs of today’s business by educating open-minded, innovative managers in the fields of supply management and purchasing.

Supply management is a cross-functional activity of a firm, requiring a broad understanding of international business. Your studies will integrate strategic management, international business and relationship management in supply networks.

In this programme, you will focus on supply strategies, global challenges of sourcing, and the development of purchasing and supply chains. Your studies will aggregate theories and concepts of business and technology and present recent applications and methods in the field, thus promoting your problem-solving, decision-making and analytical skills. You will gain specialised knowledge about the elements of supply strategies and factors of interaction in supply networks.

The studies include interactive case studies, company assignments, group work, independent exercises, literature studies and lectures. About 95% of the programme’s Master’s theses are based on real-life business problems and are prepared for companies or public sector organisations.
