The aim of this course is to provide a graduate level introductory course in logistics management for non-graduates who have appropriate business experience and responsibility. The course investigates the central role of supply chain management in an organisation and the integration of the various logistics functions in order to reduce business costs and add value to the customer; the connection between logistics management and marketing strategy is also covered. The course will provide an avenue for mature-aged students without a degree to obtain or upgrade business knowledge and skills at graduate level.
