About this course
You’ll learn how to manage an organisation’s involvement in global and international supply chains. You’ll study specialist modules on procurement and supply management, global logistics and international trade, and supply chain sustainability and the environment.
This focus on driving sustainable growth through viable logistics is one of the key themes of our Logistics Institute, which has helped hundreds of businesses since it was established in 2008 and helped to train hundreds of logistics graduates who've gone on to effect change on a global level.
Through the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, we have partnered with NOVUS which is a not-for-profit venture between blue-chip companies and prominent universities focused on developing the next generation of logistics professionals. The partnership offers exclusive paid placement opportunities with leading international organisations.
While this course has a focus on logistics and supply chain, you’ll also come to understand how businesses work as a whole by learning across different functions. We use projects, case studies and industry collaborations to show you how what you’re learning actually applies in the real world and give you the tools that employers look for.

Each year, you’ll study modules worth a certain number of credits, and you need 120 credits per year. Most modules are 20 credits – so you’ll study six modules each year. Some longer modules, such as a dissertation, are worth more. In these cases, you’ll study fewer modules - but the number of credits will always add up to 120. Some modules are compulsory, some are optional, so you can build a course that’s right for you.
