Course Overview

Whatever the product or service, there is a supply chain of systems, organisations, people, activities, resources, and information that are all vital in delivering the product to a customer.

If Covid-19 has shown us anything it is the importance of these systems and what happens when they break down. Shortages in our supermarkets are a perfect example of an ill-prepared supply chain. So now, more than ever, it is vital for companies to invest in their supply chains, and to embrace the digital revolution to optimise these systems.

Arden’s Digital Supply Chain master’s degree will enable you to take on greater challenges and increase your competitive edge. During this course, you’ll develop strategic operations skills that are highly sought after in any sector offering a product or service.
