Logistics and Supply Chain Management (Applied)

This four-year course prepares you to tackle business problems in the global marketplace by combining a compulsory industry placement with studies in procurement and global sourcing, warehousing, freight and distribution, business operations, supply chain analytics and the management of human and physical resources.

Staff, students and representatives from industry explain what it's like to study and work in the logistics and supply chain industry.

The program consists of 28 taught courses including core business and supply chain courses, work-integrated learning courses, flexible courses, a one year compulsory industry placement and a business design project. The business design project in final year consolidates this practical experience, theory and your problem-solving skills.

Flexible courses can be selected from a business minor that is different from your major area of study, or a minor from another discipline, or from student electives.

After completing your industry placement, you will return for your final year of study.
