M.Sc. in Strategic Procurement

M.Sc. in Strategic Procurement ( PAC Code: DC955)

DCU Business School offers an innovative Masters programme in Strategic Procurement. The first of its kind in Ireland and one of only two such programmes in Europe, the aim of this programme is to build the capacity for strategic thinking in procurement and to meet the changing skills requirements for professionals either engaged in or working closely with the procurement function.

We asked the programme chair, Dr. Paul Davis why he would recommend the M.Sc. in Strategic Procurement;

The programme is ideally suited for international students, due to its delivery by a mix of online learning and block release format and the proximity of DCUBS to an international airport.

This programme aims to take one area of the supply chain – procurement – and focus on the role of procurement in the supply chain and, more importantly, on its strategic impact.

This programme introduces students to leading-edge thinking in the area of procurement with a view to adapting it to make it appropriate to the business and organisational contexts in which they operate

This programme has been endorsed by the National Public Procurement Policy Unit in the Department of Finance in Ireland as being a suitable programme to improve the strategic procurement skills of individuals in the public sector.

There is the possibility of delivering the program in a more condensed format for individual organisations who may be interested in developing their procurement functions.
