Event marks the official launch of University of South Wales’ MSc International Logistics and Supply Chain Management
After the successful opening of the University of South Wales (USW) Dubai in September, the University has launched a new MSc International Logistics and Supply Chain Management, to be offered at its Dubai South campus this year.
Logistics industry experts gathered for the launch at the USW Dubai campus in Dubai South today and explored the theme of ‘Sustainability and Technology in Logistics’. The event featured a keynote address from Mohsen Ahmad, CEO, Logistics District, Dubai South, and a presentation of sustainability initiatives in the industry from Raji Hattar, Chief Sustainability Officer, Aramex International, as well as a discussion on how sustainability and technology shape logistics by Stuart Milligan, USW’s Logistics Course Leader.
Starting in September 2019, the new KHDA-approved postgraduate course will complement the specialist aerospace engineering education facility in Dubai South and will be delivered in a block-mode format, which will enable practicing professionals to study whilst working. The programme is positioned to provide for the future development needs of the aerospace sector and other strategically important sectors in the UAE, according to a USW statement.
“The aircraft maintenance courses that USW provides in Dubai are giving students in the region the chance to learn from industry-leading experts in the field, and this additional course will expand these opportunities for students,” affirmed Professor Julie Lydon, Vice Chancellor, University of South Wales.
“Our international logistics and supply chain expertise is already renowned in the UK whereby we enjoy accreditation from the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport-CILT and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply, and work with industry leaders including Thales and Airbus,” she added..
