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.
Students in track A (with thesis) are obligated to complete their studies within 2 years and in track B (non- thesis) within 3 successive semesters. In cases justified by the head of the department and the student’s advisor, the university’s Master’s Degree Committee may grant an extension of a third year to those students in the thesis track. Students who are required to complete prerequisite courses exceeding 8 weekly hours will be eligible for an additional year beyond the successive semesters.
