Course summary
Developed in consultation with our industrial partners, our Supply Chain Leadership programme provides specialist development in supply chain practices and leadership within a supply chain context. This course will help you make a difference to your company and achieve your career goals. Course Overview This course aims to help supply chain leaders within industry progress through the development of technical skills and knowledge in supply chain, alongside building leadership behaviours. The applied nature of this course means you can take knowledge learnt on the programme and immediately apply it to your role via work-based assignments, instilling the theory into practice. Your business will benefit from your increased knowledge and confidence as you will feel empowered to make improvements and lead the change in your organisation. You will gain an academic qualification from a top 10 UK university and apply your learnings to create immediate impact at work. If you’re not yet ready to commit to a period of long-term study, you can also build up to your MSc in stages by stopping after two years with a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip). The course is designed for employees working in the supply chain function of an organisation – from first line managers to middle and senior managers. It is particularly suited to employees with a technical or engineering background or who have relevant work experience in the supply chain function of an organisation, and who are looking to progress their careers in a leadership role in a supply chain environment.

Students often find that the assignments provide valuable evidence of continuing professional development, demonstrate to their organisations their developing knowledge, and often benefit the company by providing an analysis of an area of operations.
