Master’s Degree in Supply Chain Management and Logistics

The MA program in Supply Chain Management and Logistics, established in 2004, aims to provide managers with in-depth   knowledge, both theoretical and applied, in a wide variety of logistic subjects such as  production lines, movement of goods, supply chain management and others. These are only a few of the many subjects that are studied in the MA Logistics Management program and which are so crucial to the success of today's logistics manager. Among the first such programs in Israel,  the MA in Logistics Management, provides graduates with the necessary skills and knowledge in logistics that will enable them to integrate into the world of business or academia.

Three-Track Option

There are three tracks within these MA programs: non-thesis, executive and thesis. In the thesis track, track A,   successful completion of the thesis offers students the opportunity to continue on to doctoral studies. Track B, the non-thesis track  is designed for students who wish to broaden their knowledge in the field of logistics but do not intend to study for a doctorate.

Transferring from track B to A 

 Students who submit to the MA Committee a research proposal upon completion of the course “Thesis workshop” are eligible to transfer to Track A.

 Students who fail to submit a research proposal by the end of the summer semester of the first year will not be eligible to transfer to Track A.

 Duration of Studies.
