**Overview** Are you interested in how goods move from raw material into the hands of consumers? Do you want to learn valuable in-demand business skills that allow you to help organisations gain an advantage over their competitors? Supply chains are the networks of people, processes, information and organisations involved in manufacturing goods and distributing products and services to consumers. On this BSc (Hons) Business and Supply Chain Management (SCM) degree, you’ll learn how this supports every aspect of our economy, drawing on practical examples from the likes of companies such as H&M, Ikea, ZARA and Coca Cola. You'll investigate how external factors and events such as panic buying, Brexit, new technology and the climate affect supply chains, and see how companies optimise their SCM to sell similar products as their competitors at cheaper prices. You'll also learn foundational business and management skills you can apply to any business career. You'll study topics such as risk management, logistics management and ethics and sustainability, and use professional software, systems and tools. In years 2 and 3, you'll choose modules that match your interests and ambitions. After your second year, you can apply your skills in industry on a year-long work placement or experience another culture by studying abroad for a year. Supply chain management is a profession where there's currently a skills shortage. So you'll be in high demand when you start your career after the course. **What you'll experience** On this course, you'll: * Use the same SAP systems supply chain management (SCM) professionals use * Develop hands-on skills using our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) simulation and our Business Simulation Suite, which features a corporate reception area, practice interview room and a boardroom with video-conferencing facilities * Cover topics valuable to your future career including procurement and supply, risk management in SCM, legal aspects of SCM and enterprise systems and processes * Uncover and analyse the latest consumer buying habits and how they're affecting supply chains * Benefit from the findings of research happening now at the University in areas such as digital supply chains and smart technology * Develop transferrable skills such as communication, teamwork and creative and critical thinking, which are valued by all employers * Combine your SCM studies with a foundation in accounting, economics and management to set you up as a well-rounded business professional You can also: * Get valuable experience in the industry by taking on a work placement within a business between years 2 and 3 * Study abroad at one of our partner universities * Expand your network by meeting professionals in industries related to your studies **Careers and opportunities** Supply chain management is a complex industry that demands a specific set of skills and knowledge. The industry is currently facing severe shortfalls in qualified professionals: * 1.2 million new roles are needed to meet demand by 2022 according to UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) * the number of adverts targeting supply chain professionals was more than 3 times higher than the UK average in 2019 This means you're likely to have many career opportunities when you finish the course. Any company that provides products and services needs supply chain management professionals. With your skills and knowledge, you could work in areas such as: * Supply chain management * Purchasing and procurement * Procurement management * Logistics analysis * Distribution management * Supply coordination Previous graduates have gone onto work for companies such as M&S, Apple, Amazon, DHL, UPS, Automotive (RR) and P&G. You can also go onto study a postgraduate qualification – for example, MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management, MSc Digital Business Management and MSc Data Analytics.
