Logistics & supply chain management courses

Logistics and supply chain management coordinates the movement of goods and services from supplier to consumer. This includes steps such as manufacturing, packaging, inventory, warehousing, and delivery.

It is a truly global industry that involves many different professionals overseeing the process, including operations managers, supply chain analysts, buyers and procurement managers, warehouse managers, and those working in transport and distribution.

Depending on your course, you will cover topics such as:

• Managing people and organisations

• Global logistics

• International transport systems

• Economics

• Procurement

• Risk management

• Automation

• Cyber security technology

If you want to upskill in just one of these areas, you can study a single subject or short course, and finish within weeks.

A logistics degree will give you the chance to pursue a solid, well-paying career with plenty of opportunities for advancement.

The industry is currently experiencing a shortage of workers due to an increase in home deliveries and an ageing workforce. This means new graduates are in hot demand.

Maybe you already work in the industry and are looking to formalise your skills. Having a logistics degree under your belt will give you the additional knowledge needed to apply for more challenging or senior roles.

You’ll graduate with a global outlook and understanding of the industry. This can lead to travel opportunities, and even overseas work.
