Top-up your existing qualification to an honour’s degree, whilst benefiting from all that Northumbria University has to offer. AACSB Accredited logo.

Achieve a well-rounded understanding of business and enhance your specialised knowledge in contemporary business management models, learning to evaluate the operations of businesses worldwide in an increasingly competitive environment, with an emphasis on logistics and supply chain management (LSCM).

This course includes specialist modules in supply chain innovation and global supply network management, and is designed to be a stepping stone to careers in the LSCM, which is having a profound impact on organisational efficiencies. There are exciting and rewarding careers in purchasing, logistics, planning, international trade, and imports/exports, and the UK's top 10 food retailers have voted LCSM as their most vital management area.

You will be supported to develop your skills in critical thinking and writing techniques during the course of the year with core modules which focus on employability, and contemporary business issues. During these modules, you will develop personal applications, CVs and cover letters as part of overall career planning to promote future employability. You will be asked to prepare an independent review of the literature on a contemporary business issue of your choice (discipline specific), which will develop independent thinking and learning, whilst applying knowledge to specific business issues.

The relevance, rigour, and internationalisation of this course are set to meet some of the highest accreditation levels; there is ample support for you to develop the required academic study skills. Whatever your background, we will assist you in adopting the more critical and research-informed approach needed for an honours degree at a UK university.
