Supply chains and their management are a fundamental component of any production, distribution and manufacturing concern. This degree is enhanced by Lincoln University’s admired reputation in primary industries, so it will sow the seeds for a rewarding career with plenty of opportunities.
This is a unique degree, majoring in Supply Chain Management, with application and relevance over a very wide range of organisations and contexts. Nourish your talent and optimise your versatility by growing a practical working knowledge of logistics, supply chain management plus the management skills and systemic understanding to manage complicated global supply chains.
Lincoln University is the only university to have a Memorandum of Understanding with Kuehne + Nagel, the world’s second largest logistics and supply chain company which offers internships in the United States for our Supply Chain Management graduates.
How you’ll grow
- Develop a comprehensive understanding of how a fully co-ordinated product-to-market system works.
- Be able to adapt and apply your knowledge to any industry, from foods and raw materials to engineering and technology products.
- Lincoln graduates with this major can expect to field offers of employment.
- Perhaps even including a role with Kuehne + Nagel in either their New York or Washington DC office.
Career opportunities
This degree opens you to roles in local, national, international and multi-national businesses as well as government organisations and major non-profits. Potential roles include Supply Chain Analyst, Procurement Officer, Inventory Controller, Operations Manager, Trade Analyst, International Freight and Logistics Manager, Defence and Humanitarian Logistics Operator.
I chose a BCom because I’ve always been interested in business management. The practical courses with real life lessons have been the most enjoyable.
