Logistics
Nearly everything you own has reached you thanks to logistics, from your phone in your hand, the chair you’re sitting on, to the clothes you’re wearing, and the food in your fridge.
Our courses are supported by leading employers in the logistics sector, such as:
Scholarship Programmes
As a Level 2 or Level 3 full-time student studying a business, engineering, digital, creative media or marketing course, you will have the opportunity to undertake a Scholarship with our industry partners; Peel Ports and Denholm Logistics Group.
These Scholarship Programmes have been designed to help to set you up for your future career and give you a taste of an exciting sector of our local and national economy.
Real-World Experiences with Employers
As a full-time student at Hugh Baird College, you won't just be learning in a classroom; you'll gain real-world experiences and meaningful engagements with employers through work placements, guest speakers and employer-set projects.
For instance, through a project set by Denholm Logistics Group, Engineering students developed a Flowcode program to manoeuvre a simulated robotic arm for a logistics application under the guidance of industry professionals from Denholm. It's a great example of how our courses blend learning with essential industry experience.

Career Opportunities
Logistics spans a vast array of industries, offering hundreds of career paths. Below are just a few examples:
What is Logistics?
The logistics sector includes sourcing and purchasing of goods and services, from merchandising and transport to supply chain and procurement. Logistics spans a vast array of industries, offering hundreds of career paths in disciplines such as engineering, business, IT, marketing, finance, port operations, management and transport.
In the UK, the logistics industry employs over 7 million individuals, and in the Liverpool City Region specifically, it stands as one of the most rapidly expanding industries, largely due to the introduction of the new Freeport.
LCR Freeport
The Liverpool City Region (LCR) Freeport is one of only eight freeports in England.
Freeports are special areas within the UK’s borders where different economic regulations apply. By delivering investment on specific sites benefitting from tax and customs incentives, freeports create thousands of high-quality jobs.
The LCR Freeport is a multi-gateway, multi-modal zone covering 300 hectares of land and the freeport sites, which include several existing rail terminals and water-accessible locations. It is estimated that the freeport will add £850m to the local economy over the coming years.
