Summary
The words ‘supply chain’ have never been more in the news than in 2020. The world-wide Covid-19 pandemic had presidents and prime ministers across the world talking about the importance of effective supply chains, to ensure essential equipment was available to key workers everywhere.
This crisis demonstrated how important the different aspects of the supply chain are, from procurement, through manufacturing and transportation, to storage and delivery to the front line.
Our Supply Chain Management masters course is delivered in partnership by the triple-accredited Aston Business School and the School of Engineering and Applied Science, combining the knowledge and expertise of both schools.
We have very close links with business, with many of the team coming to the university from industry themselves, combining practical knowledge and experience with academic rigour.
**Accreditation**
This course is triple accredited by the three important industry bodies in the UK; CILT, CIPS and CMI.
- The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) is the benchmark professional body in the world of management and leadership. You will have a CMI membership including access to CMI digital resources, online webinars and their online resource portal.
