In our global economy, organisations have complex networks of suppliers, manufacturers and distributors. Stable, sustainable and ethical supply chains are vital, along with managers who can navigate risk.

Join the EQUIS and AMBA-accredited Business School of leading academics who are shaping policy and practice. You'll be taught by experts in a wide range of global supply chain areas, including modelling techniques, logistics and data analysis.

You’ll also benefit from our commitment to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME). Global social responsibility and sustainability values are embedded in our teaching and research.

By studying at Sussex, you will:

• gain a future-facing perspective on the world of supply chain and logistics management
• develop a high level of strategic awareness
• understand supply chain information systems
• explore supply chain management strategy
• strengthen your academic study skills, supported by our Academic Success Advisers.

Throughout your studies, you’ll learn to apply systems modelling techniques to supply chain operations. You’ll also learn how to develop significant improvements in process and systems.

You’ll engage with a range of innovative teaching methods, such as the use of simulations. You’ll undertake real-time projects, and explore industry challenges. You’ll also have opportunities to go on field trips and attend talks and guest lectures.

When you graduate, you’ll have the confidence to become a senior strategic manager who can inform, develop and apply operational improvement strategies. You might pursue career paths ranging from project manager to consultant or supply chain analyst.
