This is a very flexible programme that offers a wide range of subject choices, reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of GSCM.

Year One covers the University Core Curriculum and fundamental business subjects, such as Leadership & Intrapersonal Development, Healthy Lifestyle, Introduction to Psychology, Introduction to Economics, Introduction to Statistics for Business, along with Broadening subjects and Language and Communication Requirements subjects.

From Year Two onwards, students continue their general business education with subjects such as Business Analytics, Strategic Management, Business Finance, and study more specialised SCM subjects including Purchasing Management, Logistics & Distribution Management, Supply Chain Management, Management Science and International Operations Management. They also have the chance to integrate their knowledge through the one-year-long capstone project in the final year of study.

Along with a Major in GSCM, students can take a Minor, either in another business discipline or in a non-business discipline.
