MS Supply Chain and Retail Management is a specialised graduate degree covering how goods move from production to consumer — procurement, logistics, inventory, distribution and retail operations. Typically around 1.5 years, it targets a function that has become markedly more strategic as e-commerce and organised retail have grown in Pakistan.
What You’ll Study
Coursework spans supply chain strategy and design, procurement and sourcing, logistics and transportation, inventory and demand planning, retail operations and merchandising, supply chain analytics, and increasingly sustainability and resilience. Analytics is central — modern supply chain work is heavily quantitative, built on forecasting and optimisation.
Career Scope in Pakistan
Pakistan’s organised retail sector and e-commerce market have expanded considerably, and with them demand for supply chain capability. Graduates work in supply chain and logistics management at FMCG and manufacturing companies, retail operations and category management, procurement and vendor management, e-commerce fulfilment and last-mile logistics, third-party logistics providers, and demand planning and analytics.
FMCG multinationals operating in Pakistan run structured supply chain graduate programmes and are consistent recruiters. Textiles and manufacturing — central to Pakistan’s exports — also employ supply chain specialists heavily, particularly around sourcing and export logistics.
Admission Requirements
A minimum of 16 years of education leading to a degree, plus a graduate admission test — GMAT or GRE, or the university’s own test. Check the specific programme page for current requirements, deadlines and whether work experience is required or merely preferred.
