Scholarships & awards (merit-based funding)

All applicants are encouraged to review the awards listing to identify potential opportunities to fund their graduate education. The database lists merit-based scholarships and awards and allows for filtering by various criteria, such as domestic vs. international or degree level.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA)

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.

Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA)

Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .

Graduate Academic Assistantships (GAA)

Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.

Financial aid (need-based funding)

Canadian and US applicants may qualify for governmental loans to finance their studies. Please review eligibility and types of loans .

All students may be able to access private sector or bank loans.

Foreign government scholarships

Many foreign governments provide support to their citizens in pursuing education abroad. International applicants should check the various governmental resources in their home country, such as the Department of Education, for available scholarships.

Working while studying

The possibility to pursue work to supplement income may depend on the demands the program has on students. It should be carefully weighed if work leads to prolonged program durations or whether work placements can be meaningfully embedded into a program.

International students enrolled as full-time students with a valid study permit can work on campus for unlimited hours and work off-campus for no more than 20 hours a week.

A good starting point to explore student jobs is the UBC Work Learn program or a Co-Op placement .

Tax credits and RRSP withdrawals

Students with taxable income in Canada may be able to claim federal or provincial tax credits.

Canadian residents with RRSP accounts may be able to use the Lifelong Learning Plan (LLP) which allows students to withdraw amounts from their registered retirement savings plan (RRSPs) to finance full-time training or education for themselves or their partner.

Please review Filing taxes in Canada on the student services website for more information.

Cost Estimator

Applicants have access to the cost estimator to develop a financial plan that takes into account various income sources and expenses.

phd in procurement and supply chain management canada

"The demand for supply chain professionals keeps growing as supply chains keep evolving and adapting in the era of new technologies and disruptions. Executives are striving to make their supply chains more flexible and resilient in order to: manage supply and demand risks; incorporate reverse logistics; source locally to protect the environment; adopt artificial intelligence in reliably predicting the customer behavior and demand to provide superior services. The growth of online retailing brings global competitors on the same platform, intensifying the customers' expectations for service, price and quality. As the business world moves towards Industry 4.0, highly trained supply chain professionals like our Master of Supply Chain Management graduates are needed to manage these challenges."

Asper School of Business announces new Ph.D. concentration in Supply Chain Management

Fulfilling canada’s increasing demand for supply chain expertise.

After years of planning, the Asper School of Business has gained senate approval to introduce a concentration in Supply Chain Management (SCM) as part of the Ph.D. in Management program at the Stu Clark Graduate School. The SCM concentration will be the fourth Ph.D. concentration at Asper, joining Marketing, Business Administration, and Finance.

Dr. Zhenyu Wu, Asper Associate Dean, Research and Graduate Research Programs, and Canada Research Chair in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, helped spearhead the approval of the new stream.

“I’m thrilled by this new concentration of the Ph.D. in Management program at Asper, and confident that it will substantially broaden the scope of our research graduate programs and encourage more collaboration towards research excellence at our School,” said Wu.

As one of the first Ph.D. programs in supply chain management in Canada with a supply chain focus, there is a growing need for Canadian-trained management academics and increased market demand for trained supply chain professionals.  Within Asper, this demand is reflected in the rising interest for the supply chain major within the Bachelor of Commerce program. According to application statistics, supply chain is the fastest-growing major in the Asper undergraduate program, with an almost 40% increase in student interest in the last two years.

According to Professor S.S. Appadoo, Head of the Department of Supply Chain Management, the Ph.D. program in supply chain is for students interested in becoming professors and academic researchers in the field. Students admitted to the program will have the opportunity to work in an active research environment and while gaining knowledge in supply chain management’s theoretical and substantive areas, along with some teaching opportunities within the faculty.

“We will ensure that our faculty members collaborate with students throughout the program to make them great scholars and educators. We have a fantastic team of high-caliber research scholars in the department,” said Dr. Appadoo. “Based on our rich research publications record and research grant inputs, our objective is to make this Ph.D. program in SCM at the Asper School of Business among the best in the region. We are committed to working together to advance supply chain research and education.”

Students joining the Ph.D. program will benefit from two significant factors.  The location in Manitoba, a continental hub for transportation and logistics and the connection to the University of Manitoba Transport Institute.  Located at the Asper School of Business, the Transport Institute is a world-renowned research institute in transportation and logistics. Transport Institute researchers play a key role in undertaking outstanding collaborative scholarly research and publications, facilitating the transfer of knowledge to students to become competent scholars in transportation and logistics.

“One thing that excites me about the launch of our Ph.D. program in Supply Chain Management is the opportunity to pay it forward. Every researcher has benefitted in some way from the mentorship and support of more senior people in their field, either as teachers, collaborators, or advisors,” said Dr. Kelsey Taylor, Asper Assistant Professor in the Department of Supply Chain Management. “I look forward to being able to return the favour and provide that same support to our incoming Ph.D. students and cement the SCM department’s reputation as a place where high-impact research happens.” 

Dr. Bruno Silvestre, who began his official five-year term as Dean of the I. H. Asper School of Business on July 1, 2022, is thrilled about the growth of supply chain at the Asper School of Business.

Silvestre is a CN Professor in Supply Chain Management, former Director of the Transport Institute, and tenured professor in Supply Chain. He also spearheaded the development of the new Master of Supply Chain Management and Logistics at the Asper School of Business in 2021.

“Asper’s new offering is an extraordinary opportunity for students and faculty looking to fulfill the increasing need for Canadian-trained supply chain professionals,” said Silvestre. “Thank you to the tremendous efforts and contributions of all members of our SCM team for making this Ph.D. concentration a reality. We look forward to welcoming our first cohort of students in 2023.”

Earning a DBA or Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics can take your SCM career to the highest of heights! While exploring cutting-edge theories and tools, you’ll have the opportunity to work on practical research projects that will prepare you to become a supply chain professor, executive, or consultant. Use our guide to learn more about doctoral programs in SCM/L, including curricula, career paths, and the differences between the DBA & Ph.D. Or leap ahead to our degree directory to find a supply chain doctorate that works for you. 

What is a Doctorate in Supply Chain Management and Logistics Programs?

A Doctorate in Supply Chain Management and Logistics (SCM/L) is a research-intensive degree that is designed for students who are interested in working in academia or high-level SCM positions within the industry. Students who choose to pursue a Ph.D. or DBA in Supply Chain Management typically have a passion for pushing the boundaries of SCM and logistics through innovation and research. They seek to make a difference in the field of supply chains by asking “what is possible?” rather than “what is standard practice?”

If this sounds like the right fit for your goals, take a moment to explore the opportunities in our listings . As a doctoral student in SCM/L, you’ll tackle courses in business, operations research, marketing, and quantitative methods. You’ll study everything from the ins & outs of consumer behavior to the complexities of global logistics management. In the second half of the degree, you will also be required to complete a dissertation on an SCM/L topic of your choosing.

Types of Supply Chain Management and Logistics Doctorates

Many types of doctorate programs in our listings focus on SCM/L fields, so it’s important to find one that fits your needs. Standard offerings include:

  • DBA programs are designed for working professionals, while Ph.D. programs are full-time.
  • DBA programs typically take less time to complete (three years), while a Ph.D. is expected to take three to five years.
  • Expect 60 credit hours to complete a DBA program and more than 90 credit hours for a Ph.D. program.

Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management Overview

Most Ph.D. programs in Supply Chain Management and Logistics take three to five years to complete. You’ll be required to take advanced-level coursework in supply chain management and logistics, complete a range of research projects and academic papers, and write a dissertation. Credit hours for a Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics will vary, but you can expect to complete a minimum of 90 credit hours.

Admissions Requirements

To be accepted into a Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics program, prospective students must have a master’s degree from a regionally accredited institution (or the international equivalent). GRE or GMAT scores are frequently required. Some programs will also expect you to have prior work experience in the field of supply chain management.

We’ve included links to admissions requirements in our listings so you can assess whether you’re ready to apply. Be prepared to provide the following items:

  • Master’s degree from a regionally accredited institution
  • Professional résumé
  • Letters of recommendation
  • GRE or GMAT scores
  • Statement of purpose
  • Application fee
  • Financial guarantee form
  • TOEFL scores (international students)
  • Relevant background experience

Note: If you only have a bachelor’s degree, you may be able to apply for a streamlined bachelor’s-master’s-doctorate pathway within the university. Ask the Ph.D. program coordinator about your options.

Universities are at liberty to develop their own plans of study for a Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. A doctorate founded on business administration is not going to have the same focus as a doctorate in engineering. However, most SCM/L doctoral programs will offer a range of intriguing courses that will teach you about the research and management of supply chains.

Here are some subjects you can expect to encounter in a standard SCM/L doctorate in our listings :

  • Supply Chain Management Theory
  • Strategic Sourcing
  • Logistics Management/Systems
  • Business Analytics
  • Supply Chain Strategy
  • Organizational Research Methods

During this time, you could also be writing up academic papers for submissions to journals & conferences and working on industry-related projects.

Comprehensive Exam

Ph.D. coursework is frequently completed in the first few years of your doctorate. Before you’re allowed to write your dissertation, you’ll usually be expected to pass a Comprehensive Exam. This exam will test your knowledge of the material covered in your Ph.D. program in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. It’s typically a written exam, although departments often have the discretion to make it an oral exam as well.

Dissertation & Defense

Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics Programs almost always include a five-chapter dissertation. (DBA programs could contain a doctoral thesis.) Here’s how the Ph.D. dissertation process works:

  • Choose a Dissertation Topic: You’ll collaborate with a faculty advisor to find a topic of interest. A dissertation should be a deep-dive into a specific realm of research. Examples of real-life SCM dissertation titles include: “A Study of the Relationship Between Lean Manufacturing Practices and Supplier Performance;” “A Diagnosis of Supply Chain Integration in the Health Sector;” and “Product-Service Bundling in Manufacturing Firms.”
  • Defend Your Proposal: Once you’ve selected your dissertation topic, you’ll be expected to develop a research proposal and gain departmental approval to write your dissertation. For example, you might be asked to deliver an oral presentation about your proposed topic.
  • Write Your Dissertation: If your dissertation proposal is accepted, you can begin gathering data and pursuing research avenues. A Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management and Logistics dissertation is typically around 100-120 pages long, so be prepared to spend a few years in writing up your work.
  • Defend Your Dissertation: Before you can graduate, you will need to defend your dissertation in front of a committee. The committee will usually consist of three to five members, including a chairperson. The committee will ask you questions about your research and dissertation. You may also have to answer questions from an audience.

What Can You Do with a Doctorate in Supply Chain Management and Logistics?

A doctorate in SCM/L can provide you with the skills & knowledge to work in a range of high-paying fields, including academia, research, and logistics management. Most Ph.D. graduates secure positions as university professors, but the right DBA or Ph.D. in Supply Chain Management & Logistics can also open doors to various executive & consultancy positions.

Possible career paths for doctoral graduates include:

  • University Professor or Lecturer: Many Ph.D. in SCM/L programs are explicitly designed to prepare you for a career in academia. Upon graduation, you’ll be qualified to teach undergraduate and graduate students about the research and management of supply chains. Look for Ph.D. programs that include teaching assistantships, opportunities to submit academic papers to journals, and conference presentations.
  • Research Scientist: A doctorate could also help you secure a position as a top-level researcher in numerous SCM/L fields. Take a look at recent job postings for titles such as Senior Operations Research Analyst, Research Scientist, Senior Technical Analyst, and the like. High-paying research jobs may be available within global companies and the federal government.
  • Supply Chain Executive: Earning the right doctorate in SCM/L can qualify you to become a supply chain executive. Doctoral programs like WashU’s DBA in Supply Chain Management are designed for this kind of purpose. If you’re considering Ph.D. programs, check if the curriculum is relevant for consultants & executives and ask about career paths for alumni.
  • Consultant: Graduates of SCM/L doctoral programs are also in a prime position to become supply chain management consultants. As an industry freelancer with extensive research experience, you’ll be qualified to step in and help companies improve their supply chain operations through various initiatives.

Ready to start assembling a shortlist of Ph.D. and DBA options? Use these listings to narrow down your choices. Keep in mind that many Ph.D. programs will be full-time, campus-based, and fully funded by the university. DBA programs will have more flexibility in scheduling and may be available online.

Group 1: Foundational Courses

This course provides students with the opportunity to hone important management and leadership competencies in the areas of communication and team building. Since contemporary business environments have moved to flatter, team-based structures, managers must be able to communicate clearly and persuasively to facilitate creative collaboration. The ability to think strategically about all forms of communication with diverse audiences is essential for professional advancement. As well, the ability to understand how groups and teams function, and the factors causing team success or failure, is essential in the modern workplace. Therefore, the aim of this course is to develop knowledge of effective oral and written communication techniques and to demonstrate how such communication skills intersect with positive team strategies and practices, such as problem-solving and decision-making. The course uses a workshop format that relies heavily on in-class experiential learning, including small group exploration, class discussions, self-assessments and peer feedback, to develop skills in communication and the management of team dynamics.

This course leads students through the problem analysis and decision-making process using a general managerial decision framework. The course focuses on various basic decision making fundamentals, including a fundamental (root) cause problem analysis; data collection, types of data and sources, triangulation and reliability analysis; analyzing the problem from various perspectives (framing / reframing); decision trees and decision tables (including multi criteria decision making) and risk and sensitivity analysis. The course will introduce the student to types of decisions often faced by functional managers in areas such Finance, Accounting, Operations and Strategy. An emphasis will be placed on establishing an integrative and encompassing way of analyzing a wide variety of decision problems that managers (and others) face every day.
