Course content
Senior managers are expected to lead on complex data and procurement processes, while driving the need for sustainability. In the fast-paced world of today, supply chain management has become more than logistics, transport and warehousing. In order to reach higher-ranking roles in the profession, academic learnings are essential, to support industry experience.
The modules on this course cover a wide range of supply topics including:
- major developments in digital business, such as big data and artificial intelligence and how they affect supply chain management
- the role of financial management, including corporate finance, management accounting and economics
- the rise of sustainability in supply chain planning and decision-making
- management decisions, marketing channels and relationships: why trading and transport channels are interconnected
Near the end of your degree, you will apply the new academic knowledge you have gained to an individual research project on a supply-based topic of your choice.
