What?

What's a None Business Discipline? If it's not Business, why are you trying to get into it?

I'm sure there are degrees in logistics out there, aren't there?

Answer - yes, thousands. I've just googled logistics degree.

I hate to be mean, but I query whether you should be studying logistics if you haven't got the sort of mind that leads you to google the subject as a first step......

I have googled logistics, but to actually take a degree in logistics you need a post graduate degree first.

Sorry but that makes no sense at all. There aren't any subjects that require you to have a masters in it before you go back and do the degree - can't you see how illogical that sounds? Doing a higher level qualification before you are allowed to start the lower level. That's like being told you must have the A Level before you can start the GCSE.

Look again, there are loads.

Here's just one. It's called Operations Management but Operations/logistics are pretty interchangeable terms.

But you probably won't find a course that deals 100% in logistics, there simply isn't 3 years worth of work to learn there...and even if there were, it's too limited in scope to be useful to employers. Most logistics courses bring in other management skills too.

What field to you want to work in? there are lots of logistics degrees specialising in, say, motorsport or transport.

Hi,

I am nearly finished a MSc in Operations & Supply Chain Management via Liverpool Uni - have a look around for something similar in a degree.

I have looked on northumbria university the only place in my area that does it, and they def need a degree to enter.

In a transport and shipping company office, you can spot those who did a degree in logistics a mile off because they don't have a sodding clue where anything is or how long it takes to get there. They tend on the whole to get ignored by the rest of the staff who have served time at the hard end.

That's because you are looking at the MSc course.

It's also not the only logistics course they do - there is this one - Business with Logistics and Supply Chain Management BA (Hons)

But seriously if you couldn't find that on their website, I'm not sure degree level study is for you.
