    Course Summary

    A BSc in Logistics with Transport Management from the University of Aston will give you a deep understanding of the way that efficient distribution and transportation are key to the UK’s economy and to its society as a whole. You’ll learn the skills required to manage others in the complicated, challenging field. Not only will the degree touch on supply chain logistics but also on public transport, traffic congestion and the difficulties of getting your workforce to your places of business.

    One of the most important choices you’ll make is whether to take this as a 3 year BSc or a 4 year BSc with a year in in study or working placement. A placement year can do a great deal for your CV and give you a wide range of specialist or practical skills that you can’t get in the classroom. It can also come with a salary, depending on your choices.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
