Programme structure
The education encompasses deep expertise in directing, designing and developing sustainable
supply chain operations for delivery of products and services (based on the so-called 4D-model of
operations management). In relation to this, emphasis is put on integrating aspects of
sustainability, and digitalisation and connectivity, into every course, along with a problem-based
learning approach. Moreover, communication and presentation skills are at the core of every
managerial position and therefore a vital part of the educational programme in supply chain
operations management.
During the first year all courses are programme specific and follow two paths. The first path
focuses on core aspects of supply chain operations management and offers a solid basis for
continued post-graduate studies. The courses build on each other based on the 4D-model for
operations management; covering issues related to how to direct, design and develop operations,
and how to ensure efficient and effective delivery of products and services.
The second year provides a unique opportunity for the students to tailor their own specific
competence profile by taking elective courses either at JU or at our international campuses or
partner universities. Students can further specialize in the area of their preference within the
main field of study; production systems. During the final semester the students conduct the
master’s thesis as a project work, at JU, an industrial company, or one of the international campuses.
Career opportunities
Graduates will be highly skilled engineers with extensive knowledge on supply chains and
operations of the future markets, with the ability to maneuver within a sustainable, complex,
digitalized, global system as operations managers, industrial engineers, or supply chain managers.
Further, graduates will be equipped with academic know-how in conducting research,
managing projects, and collaborating effectively in interdisciplinary settings. This shall create
suitability to be employed by research institutes, universities and within research and
development functions.
