Supply Chain Management Education & Short Courses for Working Professionals in Dublin

national institute for transport and logistics nitl

The National Institute for Transport & Logistics (NITL) was founded to provide expertise in transport, logistics and operations management matters (total supply chain integration and management) to firms operating in and from Ireland or in overseas markets. NITL is managed by the Department of Transport Engineering at Dublin Institute of Technology.

The NITL creates a fundamental resource for logistics and sustainable transport efficiency in Ireland and provides an increased focus on logistics and sustainable transport including raising awareness to logistics and transport issues. NITL also conducts academic and applied research into aspects of supply chain management and sustainable transport.

NITL’s modular programs are built around a series of discrete, self-contained modules. Undertaking the full MSc programme requires a certain level of commitment and dedication which may not be suitable to your personal circumstances at this moment in time. If what you are looking for is a short course on a very specific subject, all MSc modules can be taken individually and appropriate Continuous Professional Development (CPD) credits will be awarded.

Each module is of approximately 40 hours duration and takes place over either two consecutive weekends (Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday) or a full week (Monday to Friday).
