MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management (Professional Placement)

Birmingham City University

Overview The MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) to provide you with the skills and knowledge to become a competent and innovative practitioner. Over the last few years the world around us has changed dramatically and effective logistics and supply chain management has become the backbone of global resilience; ensuring the flow of goods, services, and critical resources in an increasingly unpredictable world. This course will equip you with the strategic skills and expertise to navigate complexities, drive innovation, and lead in a field that powers the global economy and transforms industries, so that you graduate with the skills the industry demands. Professional Placement option This course offers an optional professional placement. This allows you to spend 20 weeks with an employer, following completion of your taught modules, and is a great way to enhance your employability. The experience you gain through your placement will allow you to evidence your professional skills, attitudes and behaviours at the point of entry to the postgraduate job market. If you choose the placement option, you will be responsible for finding and securing a suitable placement to complement your chosen area of study. You will be able to draw on the University’s extensive network of local, regional and national employers, and the support of our Careers teams. If you do not secure a suitable placement, you will automatically be transferred back to the standard, non-placement version of the course.
