Curriculum

Stage 1 — Core Host Modules (60 Credits)

Code	Course	Credits
MSC-D101	Flow of goods Flow of goods (MSC-D101) is a 20-credit course on MSc Global Supply Chain & Logistics Strategy (Dual Award), with 200 notional learning hours. By the end, students can find where time or cost is lost and recommend one operational change, using Flow of goods as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a process map, a capacity note, and a disruption case. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a recommendation for one lane, site, or service with the cost and the risk. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone. Order, nodes, delay, and a flow map — Flow of goods Demand, capacity, stock, and stock-out — Flow of goods A break in the chain and the response — Flow of goods Cost, time, and who pays for the buffer — Flow of goods One lane, site, or corridor — Flow of goods A change recommendation with cost and risk — Flow of goods	20
