Prospective Students

Business Management (Logistics and Operations) (BSc)

The Logistics and Operations degree programme reflects the evolution of the study of logistics from its original context of transport to its present setting of business logistics, taking in developments in the business world where the mode of transport is considered less important than the process involved in managing the supply chain.

For all of the Business Management schemes there is a common first year, in which students take seven compulsory modules which provide a broad understanding of business and management, as well as a foundation for more advanced specialist study.

In the second and third years of all the business management degree programmes there is further scope to choose from a broad range of modules that reflect the research expertise of Business School academics and current developments in the business world. Throughout the programme there is an emphasis on developing a solid core of knowledge in business management, while allowing students to specialise in areas they find interesting and which reflect their career aspirations.

Students who choose a specialist route in Logistics and Operations may be entitled to exemptions from some of the examination requirements of the Institute of Logistics and Transport and the British International Freight Association.
