Apprenticeship in Supply Chain and Logistics (BSc Hons)

Distance Learning
4 Years
Level 3

This programme has been developed in collaboration with our industry partners to equip individuals with the skills necessary to tackle the evolving challenges of supply chain and logistics management. Our goal is to cultivate agile, customer-responsive, and profitable supply chains.

Delivery for this programme will primarily be conducted online over a span of four years, although prior learning and experience may potentially reduce the required study time. Throughout the programme, apprentices will engage in assignments and workplace projects that are tailored to their specific roles and agreed upon with their employer. These projects will directly relate to the operations of the employer’s company.

We will work closely with you and your employer, to determine the best entry point for each individual apprentice based on their existing qualifications and experience. Our aim is to ensure that each apprentice enters the programme at a stage that aligns with their prior training and abilities.

Further information

  • English and Mathematics level 2 (GCSE A*-C, 4-8 or equivalent) and a level 3 qualification (A level, BTech, Diploma or equivalent) is the usual minimum entry requirement.  

  • Assessments used within these Programmes are normally formative or summative. In the former assessment is designed to ensure students become aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

    Examinations are a traditional method of verifying that the work produced is the students’ own work. To help authenticate student coursework, some modules require that the student and lecturer negotiate the topic for assessment on an individual basis, allowing the lecturer to monitor progress.

    Some modules where the assessment is research-based require students to verbally/visually present the research results to the lecturer and peers, followed by a question and answer session.

    Such assessment strategies are in accord with the learning and teaching strategies employed by the team, that is, where the aim is to generate work that is mainly student-driven, individual, reflective and where appropriate, vocationally-orientated.

    Feedback to students will occur early in the study period and continue over the whole study session thereby allowing for greater value added to the student’s learning.
