What you study

The OSCA programme at Aarhus BSS trains you to tackle complex problems in Operations and Supply Chain Management (OSCM) and to make decisions based on data, methodical weighing of options, and careful predictions of outcomes and risk.

OSCM covers planning and controlling a company's activities and coordinating between companies, so the right product reaches the right customer in the right quantity, at the right time and at the right price. Decisions in this field touch sourcing, materials management, operations planning, distribution and logistics planning, sales and demand forecasting, and order fulfilment.

The programme gives you in-depth knowledge of:

• Strategy design and performance improvement in OSCM
• Methods for planning and controlling the flow of goods and information within a company or across supply chains
• IT-based tools and how to work with data, matching the growing focus on digitalised and data-driven decision-making in OSCM

You build a theoretical foundation, quantitative analytical skills and hands-on experience. The aim is to let you appraise, systematically structure and analyse possible solutions to complex operations and supply chain problems, so that sound decisions can be made.

Admission, language and next steps

Admission to a master's degree at Aarhus University generally requires a completed, relevant and recognised university degree at the level and length of a Danish bachelor's degree (180 ECTS). You also have to meet the specific requirements for this programme, including the language requirements.

The programme is taught in English, and the same English language requirements apply to all international students, with a few exceptions. Check the university's admission and English language pages to confirm what you need.

Applications for master's degrees go straight to Aarhus University, not through optagelse.dk. The university's Apply Now page explains how to use the application portal. Students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland study free of charge; other students pay a tuition fee set by the institution. Aarhus University also offers a limited number of Danish state scholarships for highly qualified non-EU students.

An internship and the Master's thesis are part of the programme and build your self-management and communication skills. Teaching encourages student participation, and you can spend a semester abroad at one of the school's roughly three hundred partner universities.

Master’s applications go straight to Aarhus University, not through optagelse.dk, and the institution sets its own deadline. Entry requirements and language tests are set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, residence permits and housing.
