International Journal of Information and Operations Management Education (IJIOME), Vol. 7, No. 4, 2024

Abstract: This study explores supply chain management and logistics education in the United Arab Emirates. It provides information, including the names of supply chain management and logistics programmes offered, corresponding dates, the universities offering them, the courses, skills, and knowledge provided by these programmes, and details regarding internships, faculty, students, and graduates. Qualitative data were collected from the Ministry of Education and university websites. Additional information was collected using an open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that the United Arab Emirates first supply chain management and logistics programme began in 2009 at the University of Dubai, and only eight United Arab Emirates universities offered supply chain management and logistics programmes. There are significant similarities among the supply chain management and logistics programmes at United Arab Emirates universities with respect to both the required and business core courses. The focus was primarily on skills rather than knowledge, with an emphasis on business rather than supply chain management and logistics related skills. The findings offer educators valuable insights for supply chain management and logistics course development by learning from other United Arab Emirates universities.
