Bsc Supply chain management or LLB Law

I did a degree in Business Management (With a specialism in SCM) and I ended up working in SCM. I don't believe the Maths is that difficult I only did GCSE Maths. Employment prospects are what you make of it in my opinion, I think if you gained relevant work experience it makes finding a graduate role much easier. What course content does the SCM degree have, what university are you considering? I don't think I applied that much knowledge from the degree into the jobs. A lot of it was learning from the job but it was a means to an end to getting that job.

Very different degrees but I'm torn. In terms of employment prospects, value, difficulty, what do you think...? I was leaning more towards supply chain management but some aspects are so technical and require mathematical skills that I really do not possess (though I could learn...) so maybe I would do better at law?

Any thoughts would be appreciated

I'm considering logistics & supply chain management from Technological University Dublin. The course content is actually what made me worry about the maths I was seeing things like financial accounting, spreadsheet modelling, management science etc. Did you encounter anything of that sort in your degree?

Interesting that you don't think you applied much knowledge from the course. This uni does seem very practical with many links to the industry though.. I think there's also a work placement involved so taking advantage of that would probably help like you suggested.

I studied International Supply Chain with Shipping Management, the only serious maths I did was in my Logistics module which wasn’t all that challenging tbh. Maths can seem scary but once you get into it’s really not that terrible, I’ve found maths at university much easier than maths at school because it’s actually applied to something practical in the real world.

SCM is very employable too, I chose to go down the Shipping route personally but that’s because that’s my professional background, I actually really enjoyed the SCM side of the degree.

I must say I love this course content you're actually going to use a lot of this! (I did a Business degree not straight SCM) After reading through a bunch of the modules the Maths is actually quite easy. Financial Accounting is not too hard on the ol' maths at all. Management Science is fine.The hardest thing Maths wise in that module is literally addition and subtraction for Critical Path Analysis which highlights it's not hard. Spreadsheet modelling, Excel does the work for you... I encountered all of these modules and judging by the module contents at TUD it is the same thing. Half of the module contents just has scary words like simulation which makes it sound far more difficult than it actually is. Working in industry will help you put theory into practice and it makes you more interesting at interviews!

Ha clearly my trauma from secondary school maths is making me more scared than I need to be Thank you for your replies and the encouragement!

Both sound tragic.

I was actually gonna tag you for an insight Papa Noto you read my mind.

I don't really have a clue how employable an SCM degree is, as I've never heard of it as a degree. I can't really give an insight.

I would always lean towards the more vocational course as they tend to lead more easily into a job. E.g. nursing or teaching or optometry or paramedic science.

I meant for LLB Law!

Do you want to manage a supply chain?

But what am I comparing it to? A completely unknown entity. Which makes the advice without foundation.

Only do a law degree is you really think you fancy law. It is not a degree for the half-committed. That's business and history.

In my case you aren't wrong about half-committed I only chose Business originally because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Ow the truth hurts!

Doing Business and then finding your future in SCM is one thing; I suspect a degree in SCM is more like a degree in dentistry. Few transferable skills if you don't much like fixing teeth.
