Loughborough, MIT collaborate on new master’s program; Details here

Loughborough University and MIT are together offering a new Master's degree program. In this program, the students will spend half of their course time at Loughborough and the remaining duration at MIT.

Study in US: Through a strategic partnership Loughborough University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Transportation and Logistics (MIT CTL) have come together to launch an exclusive master's program. This new program will allow hundreds of students to enrol in the course and spend their course time in both institutes as half of the study will be conducted at Loughborough University and the other part will be held at MIT.

The centre will be working with the industry people and focus on the research part. It will join the Global Supply Chain and Logistics Excellence (SCALE) Network which is operating around the world in countries such as Columbia, China, Spain, and Luxembourg.

While commenting on this, "Professor Jan Godsell, Dean of Loughborough Business School, said: “The UK is a small island so we have to think very carefully about how we ensure everybody in our country has access to the things that they need, when they need them, at a price that they can afford. The centre will be the go-to place to develop the next generation of supply chain talent. We're bringing our expertise, particularly around the circular economy and also digitisation – and at its core is a flagship MSc program in supply chain, which involves time in Boston at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and an MIT certificate as well as a Loughborough degree.”
