Today NITL’s M.Sc. programmes in supply chain management have been formally recognised by IIPMM, Ireland’s Procurement and Supply Management Institute. In doing so, IIPMM recognises that the programmes meet the standards required by the profession and afford graduates the opportunity of becoming full members of the Institute. This accreditation is recognition by IIPMM that the M.Sc. programmes develop professionals that achieve a high standard of expertise and professionalism.

Commenting on the accreditation, Des Crowther, CEO of IIPMM, stated that “We believe this recognition will promote both the professionalism of procurement and supply management but will also enable a closer collaboration to be built between NITL and IIPMM. This recognition is based on the reputation for excellence that both NITL and DIT have earned in Ireland and abroad”.

Echoing these sentiments, Edward Sweeney of NITL stated that “this accreditation is further recognition of our efforts to develop leading edge postgraduate education programmes that are both academically excellent and relevant to the evolving needs of the dynamic marketplace. NITL looks forward to building on its existing collaboration with IIPMM in a number of areas”.
