Graduate Certificate in Supply Chain Management

You can study this major as part of a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Innovation, or Bachelor of Advanced Commerce (Honours). The major can be taken as a single or double major within most of these degrees, with the Bachelor of Innovation offering it as a single major only.

You will learn the foundations and techniques of supply chain management, purchasing and procurement, and systems analysis and design. You'll gain experience in project and operations management, and study procurement issues – such as competitive conduct – and sustainable practices that reduce the environmental impacts of supply chain processes. Supply chain digitalisation and demand planning are also covered, and you'll use simulation technologies to develop skills in supply chain optimisation.

The Logistics and Supply Chain Management major is offered on campus at Curtin Perth and Curtin Singapore.

Graduates can pursue roles such as logistics coordinator/manager, supply chain analyst, procurement manager/consultant, purchasing officer/manager, inventory manager, and transport manager. In Australia, purchasing and supply logistics jobs are expected to grow by more than 11% by 2035, and there are opportunities to work internationally for multinational corporations and logistics firms.
