Bachelor's studies (minor)
What you will learn
When you study SCM on the bachelor level, you will learn to understand how products, services, and information move across global networks to enable the modern global economy. Supply chains are complex networks stretching from raw materials to end consumers and often also including what happens after a product reaches the end of its lifecycle, whether that is recycling, refurbishment, or disposal.
You will gain insight into how everyday items reach supermarket shelves, how manufacturing companies source items from around the globe to keep their assembly lines running, how companies respond to disruptions like pandemics or geopolitical crises, and how smarter supply chains can reduce waste, save costs, and make businesses more resilient and sustainable. You will develop both strategic thinking and hands-on skills to manage the complex supply chains that keep our world moving.
Available courses
In our courses you will learn about the logistics behind global trade, ethical sourcing, digitalisation in supply chains, and how companies adapt to climate change, geopolitical challenges, and shifting consumer expectations. The courses blend real-world cases, practical tools, and current research to equip you with the knowledge to analyse, improve, and innovate supply chain processes in any industry.
