Arden University, United Kingdom

Course Overview

This course has been designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to succeed in higher education, even if you don’t have the academic confidence or qualifications to join a standard undergraduate course. The foundation year is the perfect choice if you need a little extra support as you start your journey, offering study skills and guidance at every stage.

Studying your degree in supply chain management with us means you’ll be taught and supported by lecturers with extensive professional experience at companies such as Apple, Amazon, Cargolux, Hilton Hotels, Jaguar, McDonalds, Musgrave, Phillips, and Tesco. The team behind this course has also been instrumental in the commercial and policy formation of supply chains with the European Commission and the UK Government. Because of our extensive industry links, including with member organizations of the UK’s NOVUS Trust network, we’re able to present you with real business problems during your degree. This will allow you to develop an in-depth understanding of the industry and the real-world challenges you’ll face in your future career. Importantly, you’ll find that the course takes a systematic approach, with each module building on the knowledge gained in the previous one, and interconnected content that helps you accumulate new skills in a logical sequence.
