“Aston University is based in the heart of the logistics sector and is the perfect location for NOVUS to expand its scheme and take the next exciting step in its delivery of supply chain management talent. We have been running NOVUS Lite with NOVUS since 2015 and are proud to announce the introduction of its full degree course in business and supply chain management. We expect the course to be very attractive to applicants because it guarantees graduate employment in a supply chain management role with one of NOVUS’ 25 sponsor companies, as well as providing students with guest lectures, mentoring and summer and third year placements.”
Aston University is already highly ranked in the top universities offering supply chain talent across the globe. The university introduced its MSc programme for supply chain management in 2008, which is jointly delivered by the engineering and business schools. Andy Kaye, chairman of the NOVUS Trust and CEO of Bis Henderson Group, said:
“We saw our first cohort of graduates in July 2016 and are committed to providing superlative graduates as the long term, strategic answer to the serious skills gaps and shortfall of graduate talent evident in the logistics profession. There are currently around 120 students seeing the benefits of NOVUS and, with two universities now offering the full course, there is the capacity to have many more.”
