professional institutions that are highly relevant to the DMEM degree
courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. Some of the
engineering institutions are responsible for accrediting the
undergraduate PDE, EEM, MET, SE and PEM degrees. The IOM is responsible for
accrediting the executive MSc in Supply Chain Management.
