Master of Supply Chain Management

The Master of Supply Chain Management at the University of Wollongong is designed to develop professionals who can respond effectively to the complexities of modern supply chains across both local and global business environments. The course explores advanced topics in logistics, procurement, operations management, and strategic sourcing, moving beyond foundational business knowledge to focus on the specialised skills needed to manage the end-to-end flow of goods, services, and information.

Delivered over 1.5 years, this master's degree is structured through a series of units of study, each contributing to your total credit points for graduation. Students typically complete core and elective units that address key supply chain management concepts, and may participate in a capstone project or industry-based assignment to apply their learning to real-world challenges. Many Australian business degrees integrate work-integrated learning or professional placements, connecting students with industry partners in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, and logistics.

Graduates of this programme develop versatile skills in analysis, problem-solving, project management, negotiation, and the use of supply chain technologies. The course is suitable for those seeking to advance their careers in logistics or procurement, or professionals from other backgrounds aiming to redirect into supply chain management. The University of Wollongong’s links with Australian industry provide valuable insights into local and international operations, and students can benefit from networking and career development opportunities.

As is common for Australian postgraduate business programmes, those on a Student visa are permitted to work up to 48 hours per fortnight while studying and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream upon completion. Entry to this course requires demonstration of English proficiency, which can be achieved via IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 or equivalent tests.
