In the evolving global business economy, businesses enhance and transform their logistics and supply chain systems to gain competitive advantage.
With global supply chains evolving and expanding constantly, the understanding of how to develop and implement sustainable, effective, and efficient logistics and supply chain management strategies is key to the success of businesses in many industries. The Graduate Diploma of Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management is designed for people who seek professional careers in logistics and supply chain management that are in high demand globally in different industries.
The course, consisting of 8 units of study, prepares students with the knowledge of theories, concepts, principles and practice in logistics and supply chain management to make informed decisions in a range of real-world global contexts. It also develops graduates’ analytical skills to develop solutions for problems faced by businesses and enhance their logistics and supply chain performance.
The Graduate Diploma course provides a pathway to the Master of Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management.

We maintain close links with prospective employers and industry associations to ensure you can access opportunities that support your career development.

The Maritime & Logistics Management Industry Forum has provided a medium for students to speak with senior managers from Tasmanian and interstate companies such as TasPorts, Agility Logistics, Toll Group, Australian National Lines (ANL), Oldendorff Carriers and Patrick Stevedore. In addition to networking with industry professionals, attending events will also enable you to learn about the scope of employment prospects available to those who graduate with AMC’s Bachelor of Global Logistics and Maritime Management.
The University of Tasmania is integrated into all areas of industry locally, nationally and internationally be it through research or work placement programs. Talk to your course coordinator about finding an opportunity to take part in work experience, placement, or extracurricular activities during your degree.
