Purpose This study explores the restructuring of a postgraduate logistics program at a public university in Brunei Darussalam. The objective is to better align the curriculum with current industry requirements by incorporating stakeholder input and enhancing the integration of academic and practical competencies. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory case study approach was adopted, using focus group discussions to gather qualitative insights from key stakeholders, including industry professionals, government representatives, and alumni. Data were collected through feedback forms and analysed using narrative and content analyses to derive themes relevant to logistics curriculum reform. Findings Stakeholders emphasised the importance of covering a broad range of logistics and supply chain management topics. There was agreement on renaming the program to “Master of Logistics and Supply Chain Management” to reflect its expanded scope. Opinions varied on program duration, with some supporting a one-year intensive program and others recommending a longer, in-depth program with embedded internship opportunities. Research limitations/implications The findings are specific to a single institution in Brunei Darussalam and may not reflect broader regional or international logistics education standards and practices. However, the study underscores the importance of sustained curriculum review and responsive design to ensure relevance in the ever-evolving logistics industry. Originality/value This paper offers practical insight into curriculum reform in a developing context, drawing on multi-stakeholder engagement. It highlights how collaboration between academia and industry can inform program design, particularly in regions where logistics plays a central economic role
