INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ENQUIRIES
Developed in consultation with industry, the University of Northampton’s BSc Sustainable Logistics & Supply Chain Management degree will allow you to develop knowledge and understanding of contemporary, sustainable Logistics and Supply Chain Management operations.
In many of the largest economies in the world, up to one person in eight is employed in logistics and supply chain management. The network that feeds consumer demand has become more complex as manufacturing has transferred from traditional economies to the emerging powerhouses of the developing world. Goods are shipped over many thousands of miles as businesses recognise that efficient supply chains are sources of competitive advantage, in the same way that we might consider competition between brands. Developments in the last three decades have seen huge investments in the technologies necessary to deliver reduced operating costs, shorter lead times and better value for customers. The logistics industry requires higher levels of education than ever. Best practice is continually transferred from one application to another, increasing the value of broad experience across many industry sectors. By its very nature, the logistics industry promotes international mobility, with professionals taking up posts around the globe. A career in logistics can be the key to a lifetime of discovering the diversity of the modern world of business.

Careers and Employability
Logistics and Supply Chain Management is a really diverse industry, with many skill sets and opportunities to explore. Environment and sustainability is a particularly future-orientated area, in the sense that it’s responsible for ensuring that the sector is able to innovate and evolve in line with a more environmentally aware global economy. It’s an ever growing and ever more important part of modern logistics, facing up to the major challenges of achieving Net Zero and of Climate Change.
You may be more familiar with transportation or warehousing but customer care is the glue that holds everything together. Finance, human resources, customs, international trade and sales and marketing make up another diverse set of career opportunities. Whether goods arrive by plane, train, lorry or ship, they can’t move without the infrastructure they depend on – airports, railways, roads and ports. All that physical activity – the lorries, planes, ships and boats – is underpinned by a digital world of tech and services, from the apps that customers use to track their delivery through to the automated robotics in the warehouse. The skills required to do so are some of the most valuable on the job market.
Solution designers and consultants are experts at understanding what customers need and working out ways to provide it through design methodology. It’s not just flashes of inspiration, either. There might be multiple routes to the same (theoretical) destination, and solutions designers are able to weigh up the options, and decide on the most fruitful path forward.
