Programme overview
Become a leader who makes a positive impact on the world in the areas of supply chain and procurement
In cooperation with Massachusetts Institute of Technology CTL
This MSc is a full-time programme with eight months of courses followed by work experience or a research project.
The QS 2024 ranking placed this MSc 16th worldwide and 9th among the European schools represented.
The MITx MicroMasters® Program in SCM from MIT CTL consists of five online courses that cover the fundamentals of supply chain management. These asynchronous online courses delivered by MIT CTL instructors will be augmented by synchronous instruction taught by professors at SKEMA.
The SKEMA MSc programme is comprised of four courses over the academic year: sustainability, new technologies (blockchain, big data, AI), market volatility, and soft skills (leadership, negotiation, communication). Skema has also successfully recruited 21 international C-Level industry experts who teach within the program and share their experiences with the class.
The programme uses new teaching approaches to improve especially the soft skills of our students to become future leaders. One of such courses is delivered by an acting training company that also teaches Executives at large international corporations and at Harvard, Insead and LBS.
The programme is taught in Lille (France) and will be taught in Dubaï (United Arab Emirates) from fall 2025.
