LoadingLoadingLoadingLoadingMSc Supply Chain & Ports Logistics — one admission, a shared core, two named specialisations.
Online only
A double-path master's for the region's trade and logistics hubs. Shared operations core, then pathways in Supply Chain Management (planning, procurement, networks) and Ports & Maritime Logistics (terminals, customs, corridors), closing with a corridor-and-network capstone. Arab Leadership University delivers this award fully online across the Arab region. There is no campus. English is the administrative language of the award; Arabic-medium tracks require additional language evidence. Assessment is identity-checked. 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 Supply Chain & Ports Logistics (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 Operations & Process Analysis through Operations & Process Analysis; Analytics & Optimisation for Logistics; Trade, Incoterms & Customs Literacy; Research Methods & Identity-Checked Assessment; Demand & Supply Planning; Strategic Procurement & Supplier Risk, and finish on Dual-Track Capstone: Corridor & Network Redesign. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students find where time or cost is lost and recommend one operational change. Reading is a process map, a capacity note, and a disruption case. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation for one lane, site, or service with the cost and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Diagnose an operation and improve flow, cost and quality Plan demand, supply and inventory under real constraints Design a distribution or procurement network 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. 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 Arab Leadership University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.

| ALSP701 | Operations & Process Analysis Operations & Process Analysis (ALSP701) is a 3-credit course on MSc Supply Chain & Ports Logistics (Dual Track), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can find where time or cost is lost and recommend one operational change, using Operations & Process Analysis 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 process map, a capacity note, and a disruption case. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation for one lane, site, or service with the cost and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

| ALSP702 | Analytics & Optimisation for Logistics Analytics & Optimisation for Logistics (ALSP702) is a 3-credit course on MSc Supply Chain & Ports Logistics (Dual Track), with 30 notional learning hours. By the end, students can define a measurable question, fit a method that can be checked, and report where it fails, using Analytics & Optimisation for Logistics 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 dataset description, a methods note, and one published evaluation. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a project note with the question, the method, the result, and the limitation. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.

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. Arab Leadership University publishes verification pages for certificates. We do not claim automatic equivalence in every country.
