Overview

To succeed in the high-demand industries of supply chain management or logistics, a thorough academic grounding is necessary. This postgraduate short course goes into detail on each stage in the supply chain journey, from procurement to delivery, with a particular focus on the increasingly important procurement and sustainability aspects of the sector.

The course has been designed as a whole to ensure a seamless transition between modules, through which you will explore topics such as:

  • the role of finance, including corporate finance, economics and management accounting
  • how the sustainability agenda has driven profound changes in the management of supply chains
  • the management decisions, marketing channels and relationships between trading concerns and transport channels

Upon completion of the course, you will have the opportunity to progress to our full Masters degree.

Teaching methods

Studying online gives you the freedom to study when and where it suits you – at home, during your lunch hour or anywhere else you have internet access.

Our courses are delivered through a virtual learning environment (VLE) instead of a traditional campus. This means you will have access to your study materials 24/7, including:

  • multimedia lecturecasts made up of written content, short videos, animation, audio recordings, infographics, short tests and mini-assignments
  • discussion forums for you to chat about the course content with fellow students
  • live seminars with your tutors
  • a comprehensive eLibrary of textbooks and academic journals
  • support from academic staff and your dedicated Student Support team

To ensure you receive the support you need from your tutor, we keep our class sizes small.

Assessment methods

Rather than fretting about exams, you will be assessed exclusively through assignments. This can be by engaging in discussion forums throughout your modules, completing reflective journal entries, or by submitting longer written pieces.

We are committed to providing frequent and transparent feedback through the following ways:

  • Our assessment criteria are designed to be simple and transparent.
  • You will always be aware of your current provisional grade, right from the start of the programme.
  • You will be able to view your marks clearly in your gradebook whenever you log onto the learning platform.
  • There is a 7-day turnaround for marking and feedback of assessed work.
  • You will have regular contact with your Student Support team, with whom you can discuss any concerns as soon as they arise.

Career prospects

Demand for logistics and supply chain management professionals is very high, with an estimated six positions available for each qualified candidate. Possible roles include those within supply chain planning and design, warehouse management, procurement, freight transportation, inventory management and control, and distribution network design.
