Introduction
On this course, you’ll learn how to manage an organisation’s involvement in global and international supply chains. Using facilities like our Technology Innovation Hub, you’ll discover how management techniques and supply chains keep business moving.
You’ll study specialist modules on procurement and supply management, global logistics and port management, and supply chain sustainability and the environment.
And you’ll also come to understand how businesses work as a whole – learning across different functions. We’ll use projects, case studies and industry collaborations to show you how what you’re learning actually applies in the real world.
Plus, you’ll have even more opportunities than ever before to make connections that will help you in your future career, from our many links with industry, as well as meeting with like-minded entrepreneurs, organisations and corporate partners in our recently enhanced Business Lounge. And you'll have access to the Business School's industry-standard facilities like the Bloomberg and Executive Education suites. Or you could help SMEs with their challenges via our Business Clinic, and take part in live business projects. Studying at Hull University Business School gives you a unique learning experience and places you as part of an exclusive club.
