The Bachelor of Procurement and Supply Chain Management programme provides a systematic and comprehensive introduction of
principles, concepts, theories and problem‐solving techniques within Procurement and Supply Chain Management. Businesses and
government agencies require people skilled in supply chain and procurement management to coordinate the flow of materials,

decisions within the scope of their responsibilities.
The programme will further, enable students to acquire knowledge and a more hands‐on practical approach and key transferable
