Course summary


BA (Hons) Business Management, Supply Chain and Logistics with Placement Year

This professionally accredited degree will help you develop a winning combination of sought-after skills in business management, and supply chain and logistics. It will put you on the fast track to career success in any area of business and management, but especially in roles related to supply chain or logistics.


Why choose this course?

As the business world grapples with the growth of e-commerce, the aftermath of Brexit, and the complexity of international supply chains, this degree has never been more relevant. It’s accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), which enhances its credibility and brings a host of benefits. Your learning will be practical and regularly bring you into contact with employers, through work placements and internships, consultancy projects and fieldtrips.


Is this course for you?

You will gain a solid business management education, covering all the key areas such as economics, finance, HR and marketing, and then dive deeper into supply chain and logistics from the second year onwards.


How you will learn

Derby has a reputation for providing hands-on learning, so we'll bring the theories to life with business simulations, topical case studies and employer-led projects. There’s also a good mixture of lectures, guest speakers, seminars, tutorials, and self-directed study. In your final year, you will undertake one of the most important parts of the course: the Business Consultancy Project. After learning the project management and research skills that are essential to any business professional, you will then apply these to solve a real problem for a business.This is a fantastic opportunity to put to use all your newly-acquired knowledge and skills and prove what you can do. Not only will you gain valuable experience, but you will also become much more confident in your abilities.


Opportunities and experiences

Thanks to the CMI accreditation, you’ll get the opportunity to be mentored by a senior business person, who will have a wealth of experience and insight to share with you.


Boost your employability with a placement year

You’ll have the opportunity to take a placement year to put the skills you’ve learned into practice in a real-world environment. We'll support you to find your placement and throughout your year in industry. Placements allow you to gain valuable experience to add to your CV, make industry contacts and help you to narrow down what kind of role you may be interested in after graduation.


Careers and employability

This degree will prepare you for a rewarding leadership career in any area of business and management, but especially in the field of supply chain and logistics. You will gain an extra professional qualification (a CMI Level 5 Diploma) alongside your degree, for no extra work. This takes you a step closer to Chartered Manager status, signalling to prospective employers that you’re suited for se
