Education

Education allows us to improve the capabilities of existing and new supply chain professionals.

We hope they will then go back to the community, industry and government to help them make better supply chain and logistics decisions.

Doctor of Philosophy program

CSCL offers a specialist logistics and supply chain Doctor of Philosophy program built around Deakin’s new PhD Xtra program. Deakin’s PhD Xtra gives students the flexibility to tailor their learning plan to their individual interests. It also offers the opportunity to undertake a career pathway placement, which can be a valuable learning experience and provides access to relevant practical knowledge.

Doctoral students will be directly involved in research projects with industry sponsors. Opportunities for full or partial industry scholarships are currently being explored.

The PhD program is available in various specialisations including, but not limited to:

  • international trade and freight logistics
  • food and agribusiness
  • supply chain strategy.
