CIPSA Articulation Agreements with UniSA Now Formalised

Master of Logistics and Supply Chain Management @ UniSA

The University of South Australia has recently formalised an articulation agreement offering graduates of the CIPS Advanced & Professional Diplomas (Graduate Diploma) in Purchasing and Supply, credits towards their Masters in Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

This is an excellent pathway that further engages full members of CIPSA enabling them to continue their procurement and supply chain management education with a postgraduate Australian qualification - a fabulous CPD option in many cases! In particular, the delivery of the programme online means more flexibility for these potential candidates and the ability to study anywhere in the world is also very appealing.

This is the first arrangement of its kind in Australia, with Southern Cross University also in the throes of preparing a formal agreement - similarly awarding up to 4 credits towards their Masters in Supply Chain Management. What this does is validate the acceptance of the CIPS qualifications within the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), not just by recognising its standard and rigour, but embedding this standard within its postgraduate qualifications.
