LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingMSc Sustainability & Supply Chain — one admission, a shared core, two named specialisations.
Online only
A double-path master's for operations and sustainability teams. Shared core in supply chains and climate literacy, then pathways in Sustainability Management (reporting, Scope 3, transition) and Supply Chain Management (planning, sourcing, logistics), with a capstone on decarbonising a real supply chain. GlobalMind University delivers this award fully online across six world regions. There is no campus gate. Assessment is identity-checked and one academic standard applies to every student, in every time zone. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MSc Sustainability & Supply Chain (Dual Track) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 24 months, and the credit total is 42. Students move from Supply Chain Structure & Operations through Supply Chain Structure & Operations; Climate Science & Transition for Managers; Data & Analytics for Operations & Emissions; Research Methods & Identity-Checked Assessment; GHG Accounting & Scope 3 Inventories; ESG Reporting Standards & Assurance, and finish on Dual-Track Capstone: Decarbonise a Supply Chain. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students draw the system, name the constraint that binds it, and compare two responses. Reading is a system description, an indicator note, and a project option paper. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation for one decision, with the evidence and the downside. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Build a greenhouse-gas inventory and a credible transition plan Apply ESG disclosure standards and prepare for assurance Analyse transition and physical risk for a firm or a portfolio Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course does not confer a professional engineering licence. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
The programme carries 42 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free aside from the examination fee. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with GlobalMind University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

| GMSS701 | Supply Chain Structure & Operations Supply Chain Structure & Operations (GMSS701) is a 3-credit course on MSc Sustainability & Supply Chain (Dual Track), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can draw the system, name the constraint that binds it, and compare two responses, using Supply Chain Structure & Operations as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a system description, an indicator note, and a project option paper. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation for one decision, with the evidence and the downside. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. This course does not confer a professional engineering licence.

Modules are assessed through a published mix of coursework, applied projects, and examinations. Exam windows are announced in advance so students in other time zones are not forced into overnight sittings. Alternative arrangements are available where documented.
The published duration is 24 months. Teaching language: English (ES/PT/HI support hubs do not change the language of assessment unless a bilingual pathway is stated). Actual time-to-complete depends on mode and any recognised prior learning.
This is a fully online award. You study from your country. No student visa and no campus relocation are required.
Degree tuition for this award is published as £0 / tuition-free on the online pathway. Examination or administrative fees may apply at checkout — never an annual tuition invoice. Check the Fees page for any extras.
Requirements are grouped on this page (academic, English, documents). Equivalent qualifications are considered. English may be waived after prior English-medium study.
Assessment is typically a mix of coursework, projects, and examinations. Doctoral awards include a thesis or dissertation and an oral examination. Details sit in the programme specification and module outlines.
Recognition of the award for local employment, professional licence, or ministry attestation is decided by your employer or regulator. GlobalMind University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
