Bachelor of International Logistics Management

Program Overview

Description

Bahrain Polytechnic was established by Royal Decree to address the need for a skilled Bahraini workforce to support economic growth and development. To support the development of the workforce, Bahrain Polytechnic aims to produce graduates with applied, professional qualifications. The transport and logistics sector is critical to this vision. This includes the different modes which, when joined together, are referred to as the global supply-chain and are made of separate yet interconnecting industries. These industries include maritime, ports, aviation, road, rail, warehousing and logistics. The Diploma in Transport and Logistics qualification aims to develop rounded graduates who have not only the requisite skills demanded of the 21st Century workplace but also skills and knowledge required in the modern transport and logistics industry. The programme primarily focuses on the main areas of this sector; supply chains (including warehousing, inventory and procurement), maritime, aviation, road transport and transport planning in reference to the local and regional industry requirements. These themes are covered in conjunction with the wider issues of sustainability and international governance. The remit of the programme is to provide students with a broad knowledge base of the industry as a whole. Bahrain Polytechnic's partnership with industry supporters supporters is critical to the programme and input on the curriculum is sought from key industry and government stakeholders in order to maintain the currency of the programme and ensure the relevance to industry needs. Another critical step in this process is the School's ongoing relationship with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) as an accrediting body. CILT is the leading global organisation providing education and development and guidance for individuals, institutions and corporations within the industry. Embedded within the DILT programme are the industry-recognised and industry-relevant qualifications of the CILT Certificate and the optional CILT Diploma which provide graduates with further pathways into employment or further study.
