Overview
Supply chain management is the management of all activities in business networks. This means managing the flow of products, services, and information not just within your own company but also through suppliers and customers. Supply chain management extends beyond traditional purchasing and logistics to the design and management of the complex web of relationships that is required to deliver products and services to the final customers.
The MSc in Sustainable Supply Chain Management delivers a comprehensive engagement with all aspects of supply chain management with a focus on creating a more sustainable and just world. Students will gain insights across a range of vital knowledge areas and skills, from decision making that can shape international trade, through supply chains’ impact on the environment, to product safety and protection of workers’ conditions globally. All this learning is built on robust management fundamentals such as strategy, leadership, analytics, critical thinking, negotiation and organisation.
