Singapore is a vital and trusted hub for logistics and supply chain management (SCM), and its strategic importance is growing as companies diversify their supply chains. Singapore and Southeast Asia are becoming key locations for manufacturing and SCM activities. The BSc in Supply Chain Management prepares students to meet the rising demand for SCM talent in Singapore. In partnership with the Singapore Logistics Association, this programme equips students with critical thinking, problem-solving, decision-making, digital, and green skills to effectively plan and manage the flow of goods, services, and information throughout the supply chain.
