Apprenticeship in Supply Chain and Logistics (BSc Hons)
The Logistics and Supply Chain Management industry plays a critical role in ensuring businesses run smoothly and products get to where they are needed. Today, this industry faces new challenges, such as adapting to new technologies, becoming more sustainable, and dealing with the need to reduce carbon emissions (known as decarbonisation). As a result, there is a growing demand for businesses to invest in new talent that can help tackle these challenges.
This degree apprenticeship in Supply Chain Management and Logistics is designed to give you the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in this fast-paced field. You will learn how to optimise supply chain operations, making processes more efficient and cost-effective. You will also explore key areas like procurement, inventory management, transportation, and global logistics. These are all essential parts of keeping the supply chain moving, whether it’s on a local or international scale.
One of the key focuses of the course is on sustainability and the modern supply chain environment. This means understanding how to make supply chains better for the planet, while still ensuring that businesses stay competitive. You’ll explore the latest trends in risk management and strategic management, helping you to identify potential problems and find the best ways to overcome them.
