The 20-credit module Building Sustainable, Ethical and Resilient Supply Chains introduces students to the design of environmentally responsible networks and the tools to assess risk across global operations. Throughout the year, learners apply theory in SAP S/4HANA simulations, explore digital transformation in a dedicated AI and analytics module, and may complete a 40-credit Company Project that uses real-world data from industry partners.

Graduates leave ready for positions such as supply chain analyst, logistics manager, procurement specialist or operations consultant in sectors ranging from manufacturing and retail to healthcare and technology.
