This course is for people who want a Masters qualification in business plus logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) to complement any type of study at undergraduate level, in order to boost employability. This course develops broad business skills while also offering a specialist pathway in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM). This has been voted by the UK’s top 10 food retailers as their most vital management area. There is no requirement to have studied business or LCSM at undergraduate level. The course is covered by the prestigious AACSB accreditation for Newcastle Business School, which was ‘Business School of the Year’ at The Times Higher Education Awards 2015 and is also accredited by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS). Newcastle Business School has a global reputation for delivering some of the best business management education in the UK. We are part of an elite group of less than 1% of business schools worldwide with double accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in business and accounting. The University has also invested heavily in IT labs and facilities. You’ll use software such as ARIS Express Business Process Modelling, various SAS applications, Microsoft Project, specialist decision-making software, and Google Analytics. Our graduates typically go into professional and graduate management positions and, by the end of the course, you’ll be well-equipped to follow them. Thanks to the specialist modules - Strategic Procurement and Logistics, Sustainable Supply Chain Management and Risk, and the dissertation/consultancy project - you will have a particular edge in roles related to purchasing, logistics, planning, international trade and imports/exports. The course could also lead you to a postgraduate research degree such as an MPhil, PhD and Professional Doctorate. This course is also available with advance practice or study abroad in the second year.
