This course draws upon Essex Business School’s strengths in big data and analytics to help students be a more effective logistics manager.
The University of Essex develops students' practical skills in data analysis so they can better understand markets, consumers and competitors to improve business performance. Computer generated simulations exposes students to a range of business scenarios, helping them to understand how managers and entrepreneurs use analytics to solve logistics problems.
Another unique feature of this course is a focus on green logistics, addressing employer needs for greater training in this area.
