Transport & Business Management

Introduction
This programme may be studied as a full-time course or as a sandwich course incorporating a year of industrial training to gain a Diploma in Industrial Studies (DIS). The industrial training year is taken between Part B and Part C. The option of undertaking the three year course or the four year course with a year of Industrial studies can be made during the first year when you have had experience of the course.
The four year programme is of considerable benefit if you have little or no previous practical experience in the transport industry. An insight is gained into the detailed workings of at least one major area of the industry and is a useful complement to the academic content of the degree. This placement can often lead to the offer of permanent employment with the same organisation when you graduate.
The responsibility for making arrangements rests ultimately with you. However, the Department is able to offer advice and maintains excellent relations with a wide range of employers. Placements include every operating mode and type of organisation, including ariports, local government, distribution and international freight forwarders.
Accreditation
The programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
