About this program

The Master of Management (Supply Chain Management) at the University of Melbourne is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in supply chain operations, logistics, procurement, and strategic management. Delivered over two years of full-time study, this programme offers a comprehensive overview of how supply chains operate, the challenges faced in an Australian and global context, and the methods to optimise performance using analytical and managerial tools.

This Australian master's degree is structured around a series of units of study, each carrying prescribed credit points, allowing students to progress through foundational to advanced content. The course typically includes core subjects complemented by electives that let students specialise according to their interests. A significant feature is the capstone project or industry-linked assignment, which gives students hands-on experience in tackling real-world supply chain issues, often in collaboration with Australian businesses or multinational organisations operating locally. Opportunities for work-integrated learning further enhance employability, reflecting strong connections between the University of Melbourne and the industry.

Students develop high-level skills in logistics management, operations analysis, supply chain design, negotiation, risk management, and technology-enabled supply chain solutions. The programme is ideal for graduates seeking to move into supply chain and logistics roles, or working professionals wanting to upgrade to strategic management positions in these areas. The diversity of the curriculum ensures relevance across industries including manufacturing, retail, transport, and consulting within Australia and globally.

International students are welcomed, with a requirement to demonstrate English proficiency consistent with postgraduate coursework standards (IELTS 6.0–6.5 overall or equivalent tests). While studying, students can take advantage of the work rights of 48 hours per fortnight, and after graduation, may be eligible under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream, providing a pathway to enter the Australian professional workforce. For specific unit choices, credit arrangements and professional accreditation, prospective students should check the official university page for up-to-date details.
