Supply chain management is becoming increasingly complex and the UK Government has recognised this with a new drive to increase the number of highly skilled professionals working in the field.

With a practical focus on legal and business concerns, this course will help you develop a greater understanding of the issues affecting the design and operation of logistics systems today.

If you are a purchasing and supply practitioner from the public or private sector – or if you are aiming to move into the sector – this course will help you further your career in procurement.

How will this course support my professional development?

If you’re looking to progress within the procurement industry, this is the course for you.

The programme has been designed to give you the knowledge you need to play a more strategic role in the procurement industry.

You will develop an understanding of leadership methods and understand the link between leadership and organisational objectives, while modules on law and finance will enhance your knowledge and improve your decision-making skills within these areas.

Taught part-time at the weekends, this course will allow you to conduct your studies alongside your professional commitments.
