About the course

This course provides the essential framework, concepts and toolkit required for the strategic management of sustainable logistics and the supply chain. Alongside the essential skills and knowledge of effective and efficient supply chain management, you’ll also study issues of sustainability and how they are related to the logistics sector. You’ll have the opportunity to study the challenges of achieving clean growth through circular economy thinking and the responsible management of resources and waste minimization.

The pursuit of sustainability will be explored using theory and practice-based frameworks related to business responsibility, corporate sustainability and sustainable development, and students will be introduced to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and will examine how businesses can collaborate to achieve them.

Further Study

Opportunities for course progression include the traditional PhD or a Master’s by Research; a one year, full-time research degree. It contains little or no formal taught component and is attractive if you want a briefer research-based degree or prepare for a full PhD.

Research plays an important role in informing all our teaching and learning activities. Through research our staff and students are contributing to the latest developments in their field. Our guiding vision is to conduct research that promotes excellence in management thought, innovation and application.
