Master of Supply Chain and Logistics Management

Edith Cowan University's Master of Supply Chain and Logistics Management is aimed at those looking to build expertise in managing complex supply networks and logistics operations. Students study core concepts like procurement, inventory management, global distribution, transport systems, analytics, and the role technology plays in modern supply chains. There’s a strong focus on practical application, with case studies drawn from Australian and international contexts, reflecting the real issues organisations face moving goods and services efficiently.

This master’s follows the standard Australian structure for coursework degrees, taking two years full-time over semesters and consisting of units of study that each contribute credit points toward the qualification. The course is structured to include subjects in supply chain strategy, logistics operations, project management, and leadership. In the latter part of the degree, students typically complete a capstone project or engage in work-integrated learning, exposing them to workplace scenarios and industry collaboration within Western Australia’s thriving resources, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors.

Graduates develop strong skills in analytical problem-solving, systems thinking, supplier relationship management, and strategic planning. The course suits those from business backgrounds, engineers stepping into logistics roles, or professionals seeking new opportunities in supply and distribution. Edith Cowan University’s links to local industry mean that students may have opportunities to learn from practitioners and gain experience in the kinds of settings common across the Australian economy.

International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency according to ECU's policy. While studying, students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and upon finishing this degree, may be eligible for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485).
