Don t just take our word for it I chose the Business School at Hull for its outstanding facilities and the success that graduates had in gaining employment on completing their studies. I chose the Business School at Hull for its outstanding facilities and the success that graduates had in gaining employment on completing their studies. The opportunity to undertake a placement year was an experience I was keen to pursue. I was fortunate to discover a subject that I had a particular interest in and recognised that I wanted a career in that field. My internship working in supply chain management at Rolls Royce certainly helped me make that decision. The experiences I had in the aerospace industry also proved incredibly beneficial to my learning during my final year at Hull. Supply chain management has emerged as an integral function to many businesses across multiple industries. Predictions suggest even further growth in the function, which means more opportunities arising for young and aspiring professionals. With a degree in supply chain management, the world s your oyster. Jonathan Copeland BSc (Hons) Logistics and Supply Chain Management 4 UNDERGRADUATE COURSE GUIDE
