Supply chain management has moved from a support function to a strategic priority. Global disruptions, sustainability pressures, and digital transformation mean organisations need managers who understand both the commercial side of business and the operational complexity of global supply chains. This programme prepares you for exactly those roles.
Roles our graduates pursue
The programme’s combination of business management and supply chain expertise prepares you for roles that bridge strategy and operations, including:
- Supply chain analyst – using data to improve forecasting, inventory, and supply chain performance
- Logistics and operations manager – overseeing warehousing, distribution, and transportation networks
- Global operations manager – managing cross-border operations and supplier relationships
- Sustainability consultant – advising organisations on sustainable supply chain practices
- Procurement strategist – developing sourcing strategies that balance cost, quality, and resilience
Dedicated careers support
Roehampton’s Careers Support Team is available to online students from day one through to beyond graduation. Services include personalised one-on-one coaching, tailored workshops, employer networking events, and guidance on CV writing, interview preparation, and career planning.
The dual-expertise advantage
Professionals who combine business management skills with supply chain expertise are well positioned for senior operational and strategy roles. As supply chain management becomes more central to business performance, the ability to connect logistics operations with broader commercial objectives is an increasingly valuable differentiator.
Why choose this programme
Business and supply chain combined
You graduate with a comprehensive business management foundation – strategy, leadership, and financial performance – alongside dedicated supply chain modules covering international trade, digital logistics, supply chain strategy, and global service operations. This dual expertise positions you for roles where business strategy meets supply chain execution.

Flexible for working professionals
Four intakes per year (January, March, June, September), fully online delivery, and the choice of full-time or part-time study mean you can develop a dual business-and-supply-chain qualification without stepping away from your career.
