Key Summary
Introduction
- No1 in Greece | Top 10 in the UK.
- Unique in Greece for its focus on Logistics.
- CMI accreditation (Chartered Management Institute).
- Links with 120+ businesses.
The Mediterranean College Business School is one of the first Business Schools to be established in Greece (1977) and the first to offer an MBA, back in 1989. The BA (Hons) Business Management (Supply Chain & Logistics) has been designed by the University of Derby, a TOP10 UK University for Management studies, according to the Guardian University Guide, 2020.
Developed in close consultation with the premier UK professional body for managers, the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), this course puts you on the fast track to success. It is one of the few where you’ll graduate with a highly regarded BA (Hons) Business Management as well as the CMI Level 5 Diploma in Management and Leadership. With these qualifications on your CV, you’ll signal to prospective employers that you’re suited for senior leadership roles and rapid promotion. The Diploma is the benchmark qualification for full CMI membership and takes you a step towards Chartered Manager status. There is no need to take extra exams or coursework to achieve the Diploma: our combined module and CMI assessments give you a smooth route to both qualifications.
What you will study
By following the BA (Hons) Business Management (Supply Chain & Logistics) pathway, you’ll gain an understanding of all business functions, with an emphasis on Supply Chain Management and Logistics.
Logistics and supply chain management is an important, vibrant and technology-driven industry undergoing massive expansion. Ensuring the right goods get to the right place at the right time and in the right condition is vital to any international organisation. Throughout your studies, you specialise in the design, implementation & control of cost-effective data feed and storage of raw materials, operations’ inventory, final products and related information from the point of extraction to the point of consumption, in order to meet customer needs.
All Business Management students study the same modules in the first year, so you’ll gain insights into the major business disciplines. After that, you can choose to follow the specialist pathway in Supply Chain & Logistics or – if you find your interests have changed – you can easily transfer to one of our other pathways in Management, Marketing, Finance, HRM, Business Technology or Shipping.
