Course summary

Supply chain management contributes to every aspect of business, not to mention everyday life.

Recent events like Covid and Brexit have shown how important supply chains are. Ensuring the right products are in the right place at the right time - and at the right cost - is vital to life as we know it. So is ensuring those supply chains are sustainable safe for the environment.

On this degree you'll investigate risk and strategic management, logistics management, and learn how to procure goods and manage supply lines.

You'll use professional industry software, systems and tools to help you explore the ethics and sustainability of global supply chains.

With a focus on global procurement and the sourcing and purchasing of goods, you’ll graduate with more than just an understanding of logistics and the movement of goods. You’ll build your specialist knowledge and understanding of business in general so that you graduate with a set of management and specific skills that are in demand in the workplace.

You can boost your employability and apply you degree knowledge with a paid industry placement year before or after your third year. As Portsmouth is a vital supply chain hub there are great local opportunities to do a placement year with companies like IBM and Boeing, as well as other roles across the UK.
