You’ll get broad experience as you carry out your placements, delving into the detail of how materials get from A to B, the packaging we use and even making improvements to this complex supply chain in a mix of day-to-day tasks and project work. As well as getting on-the-job training working on real-life projects, you’ll also study for a BA (Hons) degree with Sheffield Hallam University.
