Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc (PGCert PGDip)
Our accredited Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how businesses operate in the post-COVID world.
The pandemic has affected the global supply chain sector significantly - consumer behaviour has changed worldwide and the exponential growth of e-commerce means there is now an increasing need for logistics and supply chain experts.
Designed with a research-strong academic team and industry experts, recent developments are at the core of this course to provide you with the specialist knowledge and skills that you need for a career in supply chain management. This includes topics such as digital supply chain, international logistics, operations management, supply chain analytics, enterprise systems and strategic purchasing.
At Brighton we also emphasise sustainability. Given the unexpected positive environmental effect of the pandemic, and the political changes from BREXIT and the recent US election, sustainability will continue to rise in organisations’ strategic agendas as the pandemic recedes.
Full-time students also have the option to add work experience to their masters through a year’s paid placement in industry.
This course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport and the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply. The University of Brighton is also a member of the SAP University Alliances Programme – you will gain experience of using SAP software, one of the world's most widely used enterprise resource planning systems.
