Institute of Supply Chain Management with St Clements University

     Each course is 36 hours teaching, 48 hours of self study with 12 hours of assignment and examination of 3 hours. For distance learning a thesis of 15000 words at the master level would replace all the examinations (but assignment is still required).  

  BRIEFING

1.   Students without a first degree but with age 25 and 2 years of executive experience will have to complete Postgraduate Diploma of the final part of the Institute of Supply Chain Management, Hong and proceed to master degree by taking only four (4) subjects.

2.    Degree holders may apply for subject exemption in some subjects in Postgraduate Diploma if they have studied the subjects before.

3.    The Institute of Supply Chain Management (ISCM) is authorized representative of the China Business Manager Association, which is the biggest National Logistics Manager Certification
association in greater China.

4.    ISCM is a non profit, professional organization that aims to promote the standard of SCM formed according to British Law. We are one of the accredited training and exam centre for China National Certified Logistics Manager, issued by the China State Government Commerce Ministry. We have been one of the academic members of the Supply Chain Council for 5 years. We are the largest SCM training institution in this region.

5.    ISCM also co-produce publication and research with Universities and government agencies. Our joint publication Logistics Management is the most important publication for logistics in south China.

6.    Logistics is quite different from many other disciplines in that different parts of the world have different rules(though people are slowly trying to have some common practice, but the road ahead is long, and most people follow the USA practice due to trading practice and the purchase order is from USA). The professional institutes can hardly influence each other due to different practices.  Therefore, ISCM has decided at this part of the globe to work closely with the China authorities, instead of the British ones. However, as a Master degree holder this is obvious that the students would be easily admitted into their membership system.

 7.    ISCM is an academic member of the Supply Chain Council for four years, a global authority with Headquarter in USA, but due to the above reason ISCM decide not to continue to contribute 1 year ago.

 8.    We are a member of the Hong Kong Logistics and Supply Chain Management Research and Development Centre.
