Advanced Master in International Supply Management: Key objectives


No matter what business sector participants choose, all the facets of the buyer’s job will be familiar, thanks to the Advanced Master in International Supply Management program. They acquire the skills needed to use both traditional and cutting-edge techniques and tools, become completely at ease in both national and international contexts, capable of moving from procurement strategies to the actual purchasing contract. They know how to handle national or foreign suppliers. The program covers three main areas: strategic skills, professional competence and behavioral and managerial skills. Students carry out a company internship and write a professional thesis.
