In the evolving and expanding global marketplace, organisations regularly compete through their supply chains. This makes logistics management a crucial element as businesses look to exploit the advantages offered by global supply chains and related supplier and customer networks. Logistics and supply chain management is no longer a 'back office' discipline, and the labour market and employers are fast realising the importance of having suitably qualified staff.

From the outset, students have the opportunity to tackle subjects which underpin business logistics and supply chain practice, such as business finance, organisational behaviour, sustainability, and innovation. This can help students gain an insight into best practice in logistics and supply chain management, recognising the complexities of modern global supply chains and the interconnected relationships among the different supply chain contributors and networks.

Students can also develop their entrepreneurial skills and professional portfolios through problem-based learning, reflective practice, and business presentations, working independently and collaboratively.

The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).
