Last weekend saw the completion of NITL’s latest running of the compulsory introductory module on the Executive Masters programme in SCM. The module brought together participants from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds. The module introduces the various components of SCM and their inter-linkages. The participants in the new cohort are from all major sectors of the economy including pharmaceuticals (e.g. GSK and Pfizer), electronics (e.g. HP and Intel) and logistics (e.g. Celtic Forwarding and Reynolds Logistics).

The module was very well received as indicated by some of the comments made by participants at the end of the module:
 

• “The diversity of participant backgrounds makes for very interesting interaction with many opinions and thoughts”
• “The structure of the learning had an emphasis on both academic concepts and practical examples”
• “Excellent presentation/lecturing style and ability to keep the class engaged”
• “Practical examples were excellent”
• “I can honestly say that this was the first course that I ever attended where I remained alert from start to finish”

Following this very positive start NITL wishes its new cohort of Executive Masters students well with their studies. The next running of the module will take place in Cork in November and a small number of places are still available. For further information contact Antonio at adelinares@dit.ie.
