MSc Supply Chain & Maritime Logistics (Cairo University Dual Award)

Overview

Master of Science covering global freight forwarding, port logistics, inventory optimization, and digital supply chain systems with Cairo University. Students earn 2 independent accredited diplomas with a 60% / 40% international credit split. MSc Supply Chain & Maritime Logistics (Cairo University Dual Award) is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 4 Semesters (2 Years), and the credit total is 36. Students move from Flow of goods through Flow of goods; Inventory and capacity; Disruption; Operations project; Flow of goods (MSC-605); Inventory and capacity (MSC-606), and finish on Inventory and capacity (MSC-606). Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students find where time or cost is lost and recommend one operational change. Reading is a process map, a capacity note, and a disruption case. The artefact a marker expects is a recommendation for one lane, site, or service with the cost and the risk. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Dual Master of Science credentials in Supply Chain & Logistics Focus on Suez Canal maritime corridors and Red Sea multimodal trade Inventory optimization, warehousing automation, and cold-chain logistics Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.

Code	Course	Credits · hours
MSC-601	Flow of goods Flow of goods (MSC-601) is a 6-credit course on MSc Supply Chain & Maritime Logistics (Cairo University Dual Award), with 60 notional learning hours. By the end, students can find where time or cost is lost and recommend one operational change, using Flow of goods as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a process map, a capacity note, and a disruption case. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation for one lane, site, or service with the cost and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
