Study progression
- Year 1: build foundations in supply-chain foundations and logistics analysis, with guided cases, academic reading and communication.
- Year 2: develop environmental data and procurement collaboration through pathway projects and evaluation of methods and results.
- Year 3: integrate operational comparison and performance records in a final project, documented portfolio and oral defence.
Projects and practice
Compare transport and inventory options and submit a cost, service and environmental assessment.
Project submissions document the problem, process, individual contribution, validation evidence and limitations. Individual contributions are assessed within team projects. Placements and external projects depend on actual arrangements; no particular employer or placement is guaranteed.
Teaching and assessment
Business cases, data laboratories, scenario analysis and team projects use public, simulated or authorised information. Cases may draw on finance, insurance, industry, telecommunications and healthcare.
Module assignments, cases, practical work, staged projects and the final oral defence assess conceptual accuracy, methods, evidence quality, reliability, communication and reflection. Weightings, reassessment and extension rules are published before teaching begins. Moodle can support resources, assignments, quizzes and feedback; practical activities are recorded and assessed separately.
Entry requirements
Provide evidence of secondary education or equivalent study. A foundation in mathematics, logical reasoning and written communication is recommended. Business, data or social-research projects may support the application.
