Course Overview

Our Senior Leader Apprenticeship+ Operations Excellence MSc program has been designed in two parts. Part I enables students to gain an understanding of both general management functions, including team management, supply chain management, and business and manufacturing strategy, alongside specialist and advanced subjects related to practical factories, leading change in operations, technology management, operations assessment, and improvement, and innovation management. The academic award at the end of Part I is a postgraduate diploma (PgDip).

Apprentices, subject to completing the taught modules in Part I, are eligible to progress onto Part II, the Operations Excellence MSc, enabling them to apply their learning by completing a significant work-based project within their organization.

The Operations Excellence MSc is a world-leading program developed by Cranfield through a unique partnership with Rolls-Royce and the Institute for Manufacturing at the University of Cambridge. Designed for industry professionals to fit around demanding careers, the course has been designed to develop the skills to lead change in business.
