Overview
Supply chain management plays an important role in a business’s operations and its success, but it can be fragile and highly influenced by external factors. We understand you don’t want to be limited, and that’s why our full-time course covers all the learning areas and skills you will need to succeed, from the first to the last step of the chain. Accredited by CIPS, this course brings you the opportunity to get hands-on with our simulation games and to undertake a placement in a company of your choice. Located in Chelmsford, you will create your own professional network by getting involved with our guest lectures and industry innovators.
You know that to successfully manage supply chains you need to know a lot – about a lot. And we know what areas your learning should cover to make sure you have the perfect skills your future employers are looking for, from project management and leadership to business analysis and strategic management.
You will find this course to be directly transferable to the real world. Throughout your time at ARU, you’ll adapt to the fast-moving pace of international supply chains, getting hands-on with our Managing Supply Chains in Practice module as well as with LINKS, our intensive supply chain simulation game.

Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS), you can expect to leave ARU with the advanced purchasing, logistics, and supply chain expertise you’ll need.

My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
