Program Description

The modern supply chain is ubiquitous, reaching into many aspects of consumers’ daily lives, and becoming increasingly important for companies. On this programme, students will develop the skills to manage and improve international supply chains.

At The University of Sheffield, they show students how the right technology and strategy can give them a competitive edge. They will use case studies, industry links and company visits to enhance their teaching. 

Exploring operations, supply chain and green logistics and core sub-disciplines, students will acquire expertise in the contribution these systems make and the skills necessary to become a future leader in the low carbon area. Green skills have been identified as a major gap by many governments and industry leaders. This programme will give students an important skill set in an area, likely to be key for future business and organisational leaders.

Students can apply to do a company-based dissertation, working with an external organisation. Recent dissertation projects include working with a large logistics company to reduce their fleet’s carbon footprint and a report for an electrical company on the supply chain and market structure of their goods industry.
