Optimizing Global Networks for Efficiency, Resilience, and Sustainability
The Department of Supply Chain Management at Harvard College UK addresses the critical role of supply chains in today’s interconnected global economy. Our programs examine the end-to-end processes of sourcing, manufacturing, and distributing goods and services, with emphasis on creating value, managing risk, and building sustainable operations. We develop professionals who can design, manage, and transform supply networks to meet evolving business, social, and environmental demands.

The curriculum covers procurement and sourcing, logistics and transportation, inventory management, demand forecasting, and supply chain analytics. Students learn to model supply chain networks, assess and mitigate supply chain risks, manage supplier relationships, and implement digital supply chain technologies. The program places strong emphasis on sustainable and ethical supply chain practices, circular economy principles, and the role of supply chains in addressing global challenges like climate change and social inequality.

Case studies of global supply chains, simulation games, and software training in enterprise resource planning and supply chain management systems provide practical skills. Our industry connections with logistics companies, retailers, manufacturers, and consulting firms facilitate internships and project work. London’s position as a global trade hub offers exceptional learning opportunities. Graduates pursue careers as supply chain analysts, logistics managers, procurement specialists, operations planners, and supply chain consultants across diverse industries.
