Course content
Want a job in one of the most dynamic and impactful business functions? Our MSc Supply Chain Management programme will give you the knowledge and skills to launch your career.
You’ll understand the greater contexts within which supply chains function. Including looking at intra- and inter- organisational relationships. You'll learn about their wider economic, environmental, and societal implications, and consider them on a local, national and international scale. An example of this is the Preston Model.
Using real-life case studies, you’ll gain an understanding of traditional and modern supply chains. You'll look at their interrelated business functions to forecast trends and developments. You'll master the practical strategies to identify weaknesses within supply chains and provide innovative and effective solutions for business growth and sustainability.
- We combine evidence-based practice with theory. You'll learn about the supply chain local and global issues, and apply these to real-world scenarios.
- Our course is accredited by CILT and helps you gain an holistic view on supply chain management.
- Our programme will develop your skills and equip you to become a sustainable supply chain professional. You'll have a contemporary and pragmatic approach.
