“Combining safety, security and sustainability with compliance and efficiency in international trade”
Do you want to learn how to put knowledge from customs regulations, supply chain management, and logistics with information compliance into practice? It all comes together in RSM’s Executive Master in Customs and Supply Chain Compliance programme. Customs leaders learn to combine these topics to better understand and collaborate with businesses and inspection services.
INNOVATIVE AND PRACTICAL
The world of customs agencies is changing. Innovative developments force customs authorities to collaborate with other inspections and business. There is a general trend towards regulatory compliance rather than command and control, facilitated by information systems. You will explore and discuss cases with different stakeholders and guest speakers who will provide you with fresh perspectives and new knowledge.
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE
You will benefit from this programme’s unique content and upon completion you will receive the Master in Science degree of Erasmus University Rotterdam.
THE PROGRAMME
During the programme, you will focus on:
- Customs regulations: legal and regulatory aspects of the customs domain, including the international background of customs procedures, such as the harmonised system, rules of origin, customs valuation, regulations concerning safety and security.
- Supply chain management: the hierarchy between supply chain management, logistics and transport, including how businesses deal with regulatory compliance and risk in an international and networked environment.
- Information and compliance: the adequacy of information systems to support business processes, including the appropriateness and effectiveness of internal control systems to ensure compliance.
