BA Business Logistics and Supply Chain Management Year 2 3 Direct Entry

The BA (Hons) Business Logistics and Supply Chain Management is an undergraduate degree designed for students entering directly into the second or third year, enabling them to specialise in business logistics and supply chain management within sectors such as retail, service, manufacturing, and fashion. Students will undertake modules focused on project management, negotiation techniques, purchasing, and the management of international supply chains.

This programme addresses the demand for skilled professionals capable of sourcing and procuring materials and resources. The curriculum features specialised modules that equip students with the necessary skills to manage risk, assess, plan, and evaluate supplier performance, and oversee distribution throughout the supply chain. Learning will involve scheduled teaching and independent study. Students will participate in seminars and workshops to discuss and deepen their understanding of lecture topics.

Beyond scheduled classes, students are expected to allocate approximately 20-25 hours per week for independent study to prepare for coursework, presentations, and examinations. Assessment methods within this programme include formal assessments that contribute to students' final grades. Some modules may also include practice assignments, designed to help students track their progress, which do not factor into the final grade. Graduates can pursue career paths in roles like buying, procurement and logistics in companies such as KPMG, Microsoft, and IBM.
