With the climate crisis threatening the future of the planet, companies are moving to make their global supply chains more sustainable, ethical and resilient without weakening their competitiveness. The MSc in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management will prepare students to take on this challenge.
Supply chains draw together all of the activities required to deliver goods or services to a consumer, from sourcing raw materials to production, marketing and delivery, and are a fundamental element of all businesses. On this degree, students will learn how to manage this process.
Students will develop an understanding of all of these processes and of the different roles people in the chain play and how these work to deliver the product or service.
Students will explore the use of accounting, budgetary and other information systems in planning, decision-making and control, and how to apply appropriate analytical tools and techniques to optimise organisation performance.
Students will also examine how sustainability practices and concepts influence international business policy, stakeholder relationships and strategy design and process.
Students will be taught by academic staff who have a wealth of experience in supply chains across different industries including maritime, food, health, manufacturing and service. They have published high-quality journal articles that are linked to real-life case studies, and students will be able to critically evaluate and appreciate cutting edge research in logistics and SCM and its applications to business practice.
There is the option of taking a placement year where students can put their skills and knowledge into practice as well as develop professional contacts within the industry.
