A Message from the CIPS Programmes Director

May I take this opportunity in thanking you for your interest in our CIPS programmes. The purchasing function is now seen in both public and private sector organisations as a key provider of bottom line profitability. Its profile has risen considerably over the past twenty years, underpinned by the increased take up of qualifications in the area, notably the Graduate Diploma in Purchasing Supply issued by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply.

The CIPS Graduate Diploma is the lead qualification for people in the fields of purchasing, logistics, transportation, stores and supply chain management. In itself, the qualification is an essential tool in obtaining senior management jobs in supply chain management as well as the opportunity to progress to our postgraduate programmes. Those who successfully obtain the CIPS Diploma may be offered direct admission to the University of Plymouth MSc in Strategic Procurement Management (Level 7) delivered at Greenwich School of Management.

Greenwich School of Management runs all three levels of the CIPS Graduate Diploma: Level 4, Level 5 and Level 6. The programme is delivered on a part-time basis at the weekend. Students can join in February or September. Successful completion of the programme leads to corporate membership of the CIPS Institute and the use of the designatory letters MCIPS.
