Sussex or Hull for online MSC Supply chain

Hello. I am considering studying an online MSc course regarding supply chain management.

I struggle deciding which course is better - Msc Global Supply Chain Management at the University of Sussex or Msc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management at the university of Hull?
I would choose an online part-time option, as I work full time (coordinating export documentation, an entry level role). I wonder which course is better and is it worth it career wise. Would it actually help me get a better job? I would look into Cranfield, but they seem to have live lectures during the day, and I wouldn't be able to participate. If you have experience with any of these two unis, please share your thoughts. Thank you so much.

Hi @Asta1689,

At Cranfield we have part-time and online part-time options to study for an Executive Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Online live lectures are involved but it might be worth looking at the module schedules to consider whether you might be able to make either of these work. If you have questions about this you could contact the Course Director, Dr Ismail Abushaikha ([email protected]).

Executive Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc
Two years part-time: consists of 10 taught modules delivered over five intensive weeks, plus 2 modules delivered online, a thesis project and an optional international field trip (additional fee).

Executive Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc (Online)
This course consists of 10 taught modules delivered online (through live lectures and online supported material), plus 2 modules delivered on campus during summer. The course also involves a thesis project and optional international field trip (additional fee).

I see that you are thinking about whether this is the right move for your career. If it would be beneficial, you could try a short course (e.g. Global Supply Chain Management - Online) before making the decision to commit to an MSc.

I hope this has been of some use to you, I would be happy to discuss any further questions you have.
