• Apply low-carbon options to transport, inventory and circularity, documenting methods, evidence and the basis for professional judgement.
• Apply supplier governance to review, collaboration and improvement, documenting methods, evidence and the basis for professional judgement.
• Apply investment decisions to costs, risks and resilience, documenting methods, evidence and the basis for professional judgement.
• Apply implementation verification to monitoring, outcomes and reporting, documenting methods, evidence and the basis for professional judgement.

Learning content and competency modules

Study progression

• Year 1: deepen network design, carbon and environmental diagnosis, low-carbon options; undertake literature or case research and define the project question and approach.
• Year 2: integrate supplier governance, investment decisions, implementation verification through an independent research or applied project, final report and oral defence.

Projects and practice

Design a low-carbon supply-chain transition project, validate network options and establish cross-organisational performance measures.

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 a relevant undergraduate qualification or equivalent experience in business, management, economics, finance, data or a related field. Explain your statistical, analytical and organisational background. Technical investigation pathways also assess networking and data skills.

Submit education evidence, transcripts, a CV, a motivation statement and any required project portfolio. Teaching languages, language evidence and translation requirements are specified in the intake announcement. Website language options do not determine teaching language.

Diploma

Complete the required modules, assessments, final project and applicable academic requirements to receive an institution-issued diploma.

Career development

Sustainable supply-chain manager; low-carbon operations consultant; supply-chain environmental performance lead. Employment depends on skills, experience and employer requirements; regulated roles also require applicable qualifications and authorisations. Further study is subject to the receiving institution’s admission requirements.
