Supermarket chain Tesco is to offer university degrees in shelf stacking (the design) and display design, available as a course with Manchester Met Uni and London Uni of the Arts and Consultants.
Ironically students could study for an A-level in fast food chain McDonalds management and then go on to study Tesco at Uni., ultimately giving students a major retail advantage over their peers looking for graduate management placements. Some of their lectures will be held at the University but the majority is expected to take place online or at home.

Dear Kate
Having been working at Aldi for a while I am intruiged that I could further my current fulfilling career by gaining a degree with Tesco. Before I register with you I have a few pertinent questions:
1)Would this mean I would have “BA” after my name or “BSc”?
2)Would I have to leave Aldi (my feet are well under the table) to “stufy at Tesco Uni”?
3) What is Stufying?
4) I have 4 Aldi stars are they transferable to MacDonalds?
5) Would it be better to get an A Level with MacDonalds before I start my stufying with Tesco?
6) Will I be able to go back to Aldi once I have finished stufying at Tesco?
My ultimate aim is to stack shelves with Waitrose (the “BA” of supermarkets) will they recognise this degree?
I would very much appreciate your comments and look forward to any relevent documentation that will help me stuffy.
With kindest regards
Neil
