About the course

This programme is designed to equip you with the skills needed to be effective supply chain and logistics professional. In your first year you’ll develop a depth of business knowledge and skills required for any commercial context. This includes skills in management, leadership, accounting, marketing, HR, law, economics and sustainability, as well as knowledge of Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Then across your second and third years you’ll dive into supply chain logistics, where core competencies of project management, operations management, resource integration and supply chain logistics are combined to identify and address present-day supply chain issues. Quantitative techniques will lay the foundation for sound decision-making and problem-solving to address operational issues, while qualitative content will explore the best methods for planning, organising and strategy formulation from the managerial perspective. In addition, electives in B2B sales and marketing or health and safety leadership will enable you to expand your capabilities to lead and support supply chain logistics. You’ll also channel the knowledge and skills you acquire into a practical industry project for a local business or organisation, in which you’ll address business issues or advance business opportunities. In the process, you’ll strengthen your understanding of supply chain logistics. Part-time up to 10 years.
