COURSE DESCRIPTION
Supply chain management is concerned with the entire lifecycle of a product or service, from the raw material stages all the way through to consumption and disposal. It includes managing technical processes (such as sourcing, logistics and daily operations), customer and supplier relationships, product development and design.
For this degree you will undertake a foundation year that covers all core disciplines of business and from your second year, you will focus on your major in supply chain management. Throughout the Bachelor of Business (Supply Chain Management) you will learn the principles and tools associated with supply chain management, including operations, logistics, systems thinking, continuous improvement and project management.
You will also undertake a final-year capstone subject that lets you apply everything you have learned in collaboration with students from other disciplines. Plus, you have the option of applying for an internship to gain valuable experience whilst receiving credit towards your degree.
Skills within this degree can be applied towards a number of career opportunities. While these include traditional supply chain roles (such as inventory manager, purchasing manager, supply planner, transport manager, logistics manager, and purchasing officer), the purpose of this major is to develop your interdisciplinary business skills to apply supply chain knowledges towards all aspects of an organisation.
After completing the Bachelor of Business (Supply Chain Management), you may enrol in a postgraduate business master’s degree and be eligible for up to four subjects’ credit, reducing your master’s degree to one year. This degree trajectory means you can graduate with your bachelor’s and master’s degree in just four years.
