The Major prepares students with the knowledge and capabilities to manage the flow of goods, services, information, and resources across interconnected organisations and markets. At its core, supply chain management involves coordinating decisions and activities across suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, logistics providers, retailers, and customers, ensuring that products and services reach the right place, at the right time, and at the right cost.
On completion, the student will be able to:
In an increasingly global and technology-driven business environment, supply chains have become central to organisational competitiveness and economic resilience. Recent disruptions across industries have further highlighted the strategic importance of supply chain management in ensuring continuity, adaptability, and customer value creation. This Major equips students with the analytical, managerial, and technological capabilities required to manage contemporary supply chains and respond to evolving operational challenges.
The curriculum develops a working knowledge of core supply chain functions such as demand planning, procurement, logistics, warehousing, distribution, and customer service — and how decisions across them are coordinated for efficiency and strategic alignment. Courses in analytics, decision sciences, and digital technologies develop data-driven and technology-enabled problem-solving skills. Project-based learning and applied exercises ground students in the realities of operational and strategic decision-making.
Beyond functional expertise, the Major develops students' capacity to think strategically about complex supply chains, managing risk, driving sustainability, and creating value across diverse industries and markets.
Graduates can pursue careers in logistics, procurement, sourcing, distribution, warehousing, operations planning, transportation management, consulting, and supply chain analytics. They find roles with manufacturers, distributors, logistics service providers, consulting firms, retail organisations, and technology companies — contributing to the design, optimisation, and management of supply chain solutions across industries.

Note: Courses to be taken from the existing list or approved On-campus courses and MOOCs: See document Mapping Skills to Jobs.
Free electives let students pursue any particular area in more depth, develop alternate areas of expertise, or learn more about many other interests. They provide flexibility for customising education at the University. It can take the following form:
Notes:
All graduating students must have completed an Undergraduate Thesis or a Capstone Project. Students can approach a faculty member within the University to serve as a mentor for their undergraduate thesis. Students with a CGPA below the cut-off must complete a capstone project. These projects involve interdisciplinary groups (four to six students) collaborating to solve real-world problems that require expertise from multiple fields. They identify a problem and seek guidance from a faculty mentor to formulate a capstone project, which can be done across two semesters (six credits each semester or three + nine credits) or in a single semester.
A summer internship offers invaluable professional experience and the chance to develop specific, employable skills. It provides an excellent opportunity to explore potential career paths post graduation or discover new graduate programme interests. This experience connects with industry, often serving as a direct stepping stone to a job offer. Most of our programmes include a mandatory internship requirement.
It's advised that you start thinking about internships early in the monsoon semester. You may seek advice from the Career Development Centre.
All students will complete 45 hours of community engagement to develop a sense of social responsibility, enhance problem-solving skills, and understand their role as engaged members of society. They must undergo a mandatory course, VOL101 Engagement with Society, which is a graduation requirement. Students are advised to complete the course during the first two years at the University. Volunteer work could include teaching underprivileged children, participating in adult literacy programmes, distributing blankets or other items, working with old age homes and orphanages, providing support and encouragement to patients at hospitals, cleaning heritage sites, engaging with workers on campus, operating a food bank, engaging with the police, municipal government, zoo, sanitation services, etc.
