The MSc in Smart & Sustainable Supply Chain Management is a Master’s-level degree (Bac+5) dedicated to flow management, operational optimisation and the sustainable transformation of supply chains.

The programme trains specialists able to operate in industrial and international environments, particularly in logistics, procurement and operations management.

This MSc is part of ICN Business School’s broader portfolio of more than eight specialised Master’s programmes and is based on a teaching approach combining academic learning and professional application.

Flow management and logistics excellence

Courses cover all supply chain processes, from procurement planning to the distribution of finished goods. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of physical, informational and financial flows, with a focus on optimising costs, lead times and service quality.

The programme also addresses logistics performance management methods, inventory management, demand forecasting and distribution network optimisation strategies in an international context.

Sustainable and responsible supply chain

Particular emphasis is placed on integrating environmental and societal challenges into supply chain strategies. Students learn to design more responsible supply chains by incorporating sustainability criteria such as carbon footprint reduction, circular economy principles and responsible sourcing.

Courses also cover traceability, regulatory compliance and supply chain resilience in the face of global risks, in order to train professionals capable of combining economic performance with positive impact.

Digital tools, information systems and data

The MSc includes a strong technological dimension, essential to the transformation of supply chain roles. Students are trained in the use of logistics information systems (ERP, WMS, TMS) and digital tools dedicated to flow management and optimisation.

They also develop skills in data analysis applied to the supply chain to improve decision-making and operational management. The programme may include the use of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence or blockchain to support smarter, more agile and connected supply chains.

Internship opportunities in supply chain

For students in the standard (full-time) track, internships in flow management, logistics or procurement—aligned with current performance and sustainability challenges—are integrated into the programme. These provide hands-on experience in supply chain roles and represent a key driver of employability.

Thanks to our Careers and Internships Service and its network of 150 partner companies, you benefit from support in securing internships and even your first job after graduation.

You will also take part in recruitment fairs, enabling direct contact with major logistics groups such as La Poste, FM Logistic and Geodis.
