Advanced Diploma in Logistics Online

The purpose of the Advanced Diploma (Logistics) is to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of logistics management for prospective students who are currently middle managers, or aspire towards middle management so that they can apply the principles of logistics management in their working environment.

To this end, the program makes provision for the development of knowledge and applied competence related to procurement, logistics processes and practices, project management, logistics research, global supply management, and quantitative techniques.

The inclusion of research methodology and a research project module, as well as a practical simulation module* in which students will be required to apply their acquired theoretical knowledge to current industry-related challenges, offers students the opportunity to balance theory, research, and practical application in their learning experience. *The practical simulation module will be a customized module with gamification elements focusing on their skills to apply the theory.

The exit level outcomes of the AdvDip (Logistics) program is aligned with level descriptors required on Level 7 of the NQF as students are required to apply theoretical knowledge to complex problems and to present such application as a well-structured argument using academic discourse. Each module in the AdvDip (Logistics) program contributes to achieving Level 7 level descriptors as students are expected to demonstrate an ability to:

• Integrate knowledge of the central areas of one or more fields.
• Identify, analyze, evaluate, critically reflect on, and address complex problems.
