Most logistics roles do not require a degree by default. While a relevant degree – such as a BSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management – could be a great advantage, it’s more than possible to progress your career through experience alone. However, having a degree may make it easier to gain an internship and will of course be a necessity for a graduate placement.

If you’re looking for an alternative to a university degree, you might consider an apprenticeship in logistics or supply chain management.

There’s a rising demand for skilled logistic and supply professionals, particularly those who possess technical skills or qualifications, such as in maths or statistics.

Some traditional roles include: supply chain planning, procurement and supply management, warehouse management, distribution network planning, inventory management and control, and transportation management.

With the rise of technologies like automation and AI, new and exciting roles are a real prospect for forward-thinking professionals willing to learn new skills.
