About Logistics and Supply Chain Management with Industrial Placement, MSc - at University of Kent

Logistics and Supply Chain Management is the process of managing a product from creation to transportation. It involves processing orders, storing, moving and delivering goods, but also predicting the future needs of your customers.

On this detail-driven CILT and CIPS-accredited MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management with Industrial Placement course, our in-house academic experts teach you the vital theory, modes and systems to succeed in this area. You'll graduate with the ability to plan, predict and perform in an ever-important field.

Taking a 12-month industrial placement allows you to gain work experience in the UK or overseas as part of your Master's. While the placements are self-sought, the School offers support through extra-curricular engagement with our dedicated placements team. Opting for this course with a placement takes the length of your course to up to two years.

You'll learn vital topics of Logistics and Supply Chain Management, such as planning, modelling and analytics, operations management and digital transformation alongside the imperative topics of sustainable procurement, warehouse and global transportation management. At the end of Stage One, you start your Industrial Placement.
