BA (Hons) Business and Supply Chain Management in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne United Kingdom | Northumbria University

The BA (Hons) in Business and Supply Chain Management offers a perfect blend of comprehensive business education with specialized focus on operations and supply chain principles. This program caters to students passionate about supply chain operations while wanting to develop versatile business expertise. The curriculum maintains an equal 50/50 ratio between core business subjects (including finance, marketing, and HR) and specialized supply chain modules like International Operations, Applied Logistics, Global Inventory Management, Sustainable Supply Chains, and Supply Chain Innovation. The program begins with foundational business knowledge before progressively shifting toward advanced supply chain specialization. Students can enhance their learning through optional work placements, international study opportunities, or a combination of both. Final-year options include a group consultancy project through the Business Clinic, an individual management research project, or a dissertation (placement-dependent). The individual research project enables students to tackle real-world business challenges while gaining valuable hands-on experience. Our curriculum benefits from collaboration with professional organizations including CIPS and CILT, and holds accreditation from the prestigious AACSB for Newcastle Business School.

Career readiness forms the foundation of all our Business programs, with each module incorporating essential workplace skills. Two specialized career-focused modules - Supply Chain Operations Study/Consultancy and Professional Practice Preparation - offer practical experience through live projects and employment skill development. Our partnership with NOVUS and CILT addresses the growing talent shortage in supply chain professions by cultivating future industry leaders. Northumbria's academic team and support services are committed to equipping graduates with industry-relevant competencies. Outside lectures, students can broaden their experience through international exchange programs (available in second year to EU/USA/Australia/China), optional placement years with our Internship Program, or real-world consulting through our Business Clinic.

Program Duration - 3 years full-time or 4 years with placement/study abroad option
