The degree at a glance
A Malaysia supply-chain degree focused on operating decisions
UCSI lists the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Supply Chain Operations Management as a three-year, full-time programme in Kuala Lumpur. Intakes are January, May and September. Its printed approval is (R2/840/6/0016), expiry 06/2028, with accreditation MQA/FA2951.
The overview combines management principles with operations strategy and the processes involved in managing supply in global manufacturing operations. The course sequence covers purchasing, storage, movement, trade, digital supply chains and risk, rather than transport alone.
We use the named subjects to explain that scope. A degree title does not establish a guaranteed employer, warehouse-system certification or a particular role after graduation.

Malaysia supply-chain fees: the approximate international total
UCSI shows an approximate international total of RM110,300. The note says the estimate can vary with country-specific visa processing and administrative charges. The figure is undated, so we do not call it a confirmed 2027 quote or an annual fee.

Malaysia supply-chain entry checks for Indian qualifications
The direct-degree block lists a minimum 60% overall average for qualifications deemed equivalent to STPM/A-Level by MQA. It does not name an Indian-board cutoff. The same page contains separate foundation-year requirements, including different equivalency percentages. We keep those blocks apart and ask UCSI which degree route your results meet.

Other common routes
Other equivalent qualifications receive case-by-case faculty review. The separate foundation-year block is not used as a direct-degree requirement.
Subject passes need their own evidence. UCSI allows the Mathematics and English pass condition for specified STPM/STAM routes to be waived where equivalent or higher achievement is present in the qualification. We ask UCSI to assess your subjects; a generic equivalency percentage is not a blanket subject waiver.
English evidence
Malaysia supply-chain English evidence: confirm the degree-specific panel
The original international panel lists IELTS Academic 5.5, MUET 4, TOEFL iBT 46, Pearson Test of English 51, Cambridge English tests or Linguaskill 160, O-Level/IGCSE English C and CIEP by ELS minimum 108, alongside other named tests. The separate local panel has lower IELTS and TOEFL figures and is not the international route. Because the shared entry area contains foundation-year requirements before the English section, we confirm degree-specific applicability with UCSI. Below-requirement international applicants are directed to English for Tertiary Education and placement testing.

Malaysia supply-chain intakes and three co-operative placements
January, May and September are the published start months. A co-operative placement appears in each of years 1, 2 and 3. We check the timing, length, eligibility and hosts separately; this course list does not give a placement duration or promise a named logistics employer.
Final Year Project A and B sit in year 3. They are separate course components from the placements and do not establish a guaranteed company project or specific software credential.
After the degree
Malaysia supply-chain careers across planning and operations
UCSI lists career areas in supply-chain design and planning, procurement and supply management, freight transportation, warehouse design and management, distribution network planning, inventory management and control, and project management.
We compare those areas against the subjects. Procurement Management and International Trade concern sourcing and cross-border decisions. Warehousing and Material and Distribution Management address storage and movement. E-Logistics, risk, sustainability and reporting tools add further operational questions.
The final choice is not simply whether you like transport. We discuss whether you are more interested in purchasing, inventory, warehouses, networks or wider operations, without promising a particular title, salary or employment outcome.
Funding scope
Malaysia supply-chain funding and course-budget checks
We check current UCSI award options against your results and intended intake. A possible award is separate from the approximate course total shown on the programme page.
We use a reduced figure only when an applicable award and its conditions are confirmed for you. We also keep living costs and travel outside a headline course-fee comparison.
Questions families ask us
Malaysia supply-chain degree: questions before choosing
Is this just a transport-management degree?
No. Transport Management is one subject. The wider course includes procurement, warehousing, material and distribution management, trade, digital logistics, risk, sustainability and projects.
Are all the elective subjects compulsory?
No. Year 2 says choose two of three Elective 1 subjects. Year 3 says choose two of three Elective 2 subjects. We confirm availability and the final structure.
Does the approximate total include service tax?
The page lists RM110,300 and a separate 6% tax notice but does not clearly state total tax inclusion. We check the current breakdown instead of add tax indiscriminately.
Can foundation-entry percentages be used for the degree?
No. The page has a separate foundation-year requirements block. We use the degree block and your actual qualification to confirm the direct-degree route.
Is IELTS 5.5 definitely the degree-specific condition?
The original international panel lists IELTS Academic 5.5. It appears after foundation requirements in the shared entry area, so we confirm degree-specific applicability rather than assume it without that check.
