International Supply Chain and Logistics Management MSc: Recognition and accreditation

This course has been accredited by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS). This means that once you have three or more years' experience in purchasing and supply management, you will become full members of the Institute and be able to use the letters MCIPS after your name.

Alternatively, if you already have three or more years' experience when you enrol on this course, you will receive two qualifications on completion of the MSc.

Being a member of the Institute will provide you with great opportunities and gives you access to a huge resource relating to supply chain and logistics issues.

This course is accredited by the Brussels-based European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). Its EFMD Programme Accreditation System (EPAS) award means that you can be confident that this degree is of a high standard compared to similar programmes around the world.

Kingston Business School is one of only a small number of schools that have secured accreditation from EFMD. We are the second UK Business School to secure EPAS accreditation, and one of only 22 schools with accreditation from EFMD in the UK (the other 20 having secured EQUIS accreditation).

Graduates of the masters degree programme will be entitled to professional membership of the Chartered Management Institute (MCMI or ACMI depending on your management experience and the programme studied).

Recognition from the Institute demonstrates your professional commitment. As a member you will have access to a wide range of support services, including information resources, an online CPD system and networking events.

You will also be entitled to the Institute's fast track membership application process and a reduction on subscription rates for the first year. Once a member, you can demonstrate your capability as a professional manager still further by registering on the Institute's Chartered Manager programme.
