On September 23rd, Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) released 2021 Masters in Supply 
Chain Management Rankings. School of Economics and Management, Tongji 
University (Tongji SEM) has been ranked 41st in the world.

QS 2021 Masters in Supply Chain Management Ranking is based on a comprehensive 
analysis of a number of indicators, such as global employer reputation, global 
academic reputation, faculty, internationalization, alumni salary, etc. Supply 
chain and logistics management are strong disciplines in North American and 
European business schools. Tongji SEM enjoys traditional advantages in the 
disciplines and has made significant breakthroughs in research and teaching in 
recent years, ranking way ahead of many Asian business schools.

In order to cultivate supply chain management talents with international 
vision, Tongji SEM jointly launched an English-taught double-degree master 
program, in conjunction with German Kühne Logistics University (KLU) and US 
University of Tennessee-Knoxville (UTK). Multinational-teaching is one of the 
distinctive features of this program. Faculty with top academic level and rich 
practical experiences from three universities, and the course contents are very 
application-oriented. Besides, students also have the opportunity to do 
internships in Chinese, German and American enterprises to experience supply 
chain management in the context of globalization.

Professor LI Yuan, Dean of Tongji SEM, said, "we has always adhered to 
exploring diversified international exchanges and cooperation, to integrating 
academia with government and business industry, and to creating an 
omni-directional collaborative innovation system. I'm glad to see that the 
Tongji M.Sc. TriContinent Global Supply Chain Management has performed well in 
the international rankings. It proves Tongji SEM's talent cultivation mode has 
been recognized by the international education market."

YUAN Tianhua, an alumna who graduated from M.Sc. TriContinent Global Supply 
Chain Management in 2019, is now a manager of Accenture. She was responsible 
for providing ERP software implementation to enterprises at a consulting firm, 
before her participation in the master program. At that time, it was hard for 
her to provide ideal, complete and optimal solutions for enterprises from 
strategic or management perspectives. Nor was it easy for her to advise at 
internal and external levels of the entire supply chain. However, after 
graduation, she gained a more complete and profound understanding of the 
principles of ERP software itself and the optimization of the overall supply 
chain, including logistics and after-sales. The program provides her with 
comprehensive methods and ways of thinking in advising enterprises to promote 
supply chain integration, enhancing business efficiency and achieving cost 
optimization in practical world. At the same time, her scheme is increasingly 
recognized by customers.
