About MSc in Economics and Business Administration in Supply Chain Management
Why study MSc EBA SCM?
3 good reasons to choose MSc EBA SCM
Global Supply Chains
Data and Decision Making
Strategy and Collaboration
“Supply chain managment is about zooming out to get a broader overview. You will learn about different aspects to help supply chains serve the end customers ” Kasper
Student, MSc EBA SCM
Breaking down the silos
In today’s business world, leading companies see their supply chains as a whole. They are not just separate parts like finance, production, logistics, or sales. They succeed by breaking down silos inside the company and by creating value together with suppliers and customers. This big-picture view is what supply chain management is all about.
In the MSc EBA SCM programme, you’ll learn to analyse and manage global supply chains with this holistic mindset. You’ll consider the impact of decisions across every stage, from raw material extraction, production and retailing to final consumption and even the return flow of goods.
Designing supply chains and building networks
The programme focuses on both strategic and everyday decisions. You’ll work with questions like: How should a supply chain be structured? How do companies allocate resources? How do we design processes that meet the demands of modern industry and society?
You’ll learn to connect an organisation’s overall business strategy with its supply chain strategy, and to build strong relationships both inside the company and with external partners. This ability to coordinate decisions across the entire network is key to creating value, building strong brands, and securing long-term business success.
“What I like the best about MSc EBA SCM is definitely the social environment of the programme. People all come from different backgrounds, and I feel like there is a great sense of community. ” Naja
Student, MSc EBA SCM
Knowledge about the entire process
To succeed, you’ll need the right tools. In the programme you'll learn about the up-to-date methods for planning and managing global value creation. You’ll work with both data-driven techniques and conceptual analysis to understand the flow of goods, information, money, and materials, from the moment an order is placed until the product reaches the customer.
You’ll gain the ability to analyse data, test the effect of changes, and make sure the right products are in the right place at the right time. These skills are essential for driving profitability and ensuring companies deliver real value.
MSc EBA SCM in the current version has the last intake in 2027
As a consequence of the master programme reform CBS has decided to develop a new 1-year MSc programme in Supply Chain Management from 2028. This means that the current programme version has the last intake in 2027.
CBS is currently working on reorganising the offered master programmes to meet the requirements in the master programme reform, which takes effect in 2028. The coming years CBS will offer more 1-year full-time master programmes and part-time master programmes.

Options during the programme
Electives
On the 3rd semester, you can choose to study courses of your specific interest. CBS offers a large number of electives within a wide range of topics. You can also choose to take electives at other Danish universities. The electives you choose have to be relevant for your programme.
See the current selection of CBS electives on Courses at master level.
Minor
On the 3rd semester, you can also choose to study a so-called minor. A minor is a package of electives within a specific academic area. Typically, it consists of 3 courses. By taking a minor, you strengthen your competences within a specific area of interest, and you can use it to qualify for specific jobs or industries.
See the current selection of Minors.
Exchange
Many students choose to go on exchange on their 3rd semester; usually at one of CBS’ more than 300 partner universities. When you go on exchange through CBS, you do not have to pay for the teaching at the foreign university (with a few exceptions), and you can bring your SU (student grant).
Find a list of all CBS partner universities here.
Internship
You can choose to replace some of your electives with a so-called academic internship. The academic internship consists of an internship period at a company, which is then completed with a project report. You can do the internship at a company in Denmark or abroad.
When doing an internship you get the opportunity to relate theory to practice and reflect on the academic training you receive at CBS in a practical setting. Therefore, the project report and work assignments during your internship have to be relevant to your study programme.
CEMS
On Supply Chain Management, you can apply for the CEMS - Master in International Management programme. CEMS MIM is a double degree programme, which gives you the opportunity to add a second degree in international management to your CBS degree. This means that you will get both the MSc degree and the CEMS in International Management degree.
CEMS is a 1-year programme, which you study in combination with your CBS degree in your 3rd and 4th semester. Part of it takes place at one of the other CEMS universities abroad.
Learn more about CEMS / Master in International Management.
Master's thesis
Your 2nd year is completed with a master's thesis. You choose the topic you want to write about which allows you to focus on a specific topic of your interest. Typically, you write your master's thesis with a fellow student.
“I enjoy when people, processes and systems are working holistically together which made supply chain management the obvious choice for me.” Kasper
Student, MSc EBA SCM
Study environment
Build a network with other students
The students are traditionally active both in and outside the classroom. Both when it comes to discussions in class and to student events. Consider building good social relationships with your fellow students as it helps to build a strong professional network for the future.
Close to the industry
You’ll work closely with companies from different industries through projects and cases. As an SCM student, you’ll also have access to exclusive events and activities designed just for you – from workshops that strengthen your professional skills to networking opportunities that can boost your career prospects.

Teaching and exams
Teaching
The programme has a high degree of student involvement in part because it is a small and tight-knit group.
You will have student presentations, exercises, class discussions, lectures and real life cases.
The programme highly recommends that students group up with different people on projects to learn from each other’s strengths and knowledge – group work is good practice for the inter-organisational, intercultural and interpersonal skills you will need to manage your future supply chain networks.
Read more about Teaching and working methods.
Exams
This programme has a mix of exam types, such as 24 hour home assignments, four hours written exam and projects with oral defence.

Student life at CBS
Being a CBS student is about more than going to lectures and doing exams.
Get a glimpse of student life at CBS. Here, you can explore what a typical day of teaching and exams looks like.
Also, you can learn how our programmes are structured and read about social life on campus, including the many ways to connect with fellow students.
Time consumption
Workload
On the master’s programme, you will work more independently than on the bachelor’s programme, and teaching places greater emphasis on preparation as well as in-depth individual study.
If you are studying on a full-time graduate programme, you should expect spending approximately 37 hours on average on your studies each week. The workload will vary during the year.
Hectic around exams
The time leading up to assignment submissions and exams can be hectic, and you can easily work more than 40 hours a week in this period. Preparing for oral exams can be especially time consuming, because you have to be able to explain and discuss the covered concepts and theories and learn things by heart.
Read more on Teaching and working methods
Student job
Most programmes are quite flexible in terms of combining studies with a student job. Most students work a maximum of 15 hours a week in order to have sufficient time for their studies.
Studying in Denmark - for internationals
If this is your first time studying in Denmark, you may find teaching and exam formats, the grading scale and the academic calendar very different from what you are used to.

Make a self-assessment
What is a self-assessment?
If there is no advance assessment available for your bachelor’s degree, you can make a so-called self-assessment of your educational background.
If there is an advance assessment of your bachelor degree showing that you are missing certain academic areas to fulfil the academic requirements, you can also use the self-assessment to show how you fulfil the missing academic areas.
Your self-assessment is not binding for us, but it can help you prepare your application and give us a better overview of your educational background.
How to make a self-assessment
Start by listing all the undergraduate courses you have taken, or are going to take, as part of your bachelor's degree or in addition to it, and compare them to the programme's academic requirements.
Read your course titles and descriptions carefully. Try to categorise the courses according to the master programme’s academic requirements.
To get an idea of how we assess each course category, you can use the course catalogue to see how we have categorised different CBS elective courses or CBS Summer University courses within each category.
Use the self-assessment form
We have created a form you can use for your self-assessment. The form is a tool to help you match your courses with the academic entry requirements for the programme and see to what extent you fulfil them.
Remember to include
- Courses you have already passed
- Courses you are currently taking
- Courses you expect to pass before study start (e.g. supplementary courses at summer university)
