Department of Commercial Activity and Logistics

Department of Commercial Activity and Logistics:
youthful energy and scientific experience

Established in 2017 on the basis of the Department of Marketing, our department is one of the youngest at KNEU. However, it is here that the university’s powerful scientific potential, adapted to the challenges of the modern economy, has been accumulated.

Why did we appear?
The separation of the department became a strategic response to the transformation of the national economy. We understand that the sustainable development of Ukraine, integration into global logistics chains and business stability in the face of geopolitical risks are impossible without professional supply chain management. Our goal is to prepare managers who will become architects of the country’s logistics potential.

Our mission
To form in graduates the key competencies of modern logistics management, which are most in demand in the Ukrainian and international labor markets. We train specialists capable of making effective commercial decisions where others see only obstacles.

Our principles
In our activities, we are guided by time-tested wisdom:

  • “Bonum initium est dimidium facti” (a good beginning is half the work);
  • “Non scholae sed vitae discimus” (we learn not for school, but for life).

For us, learning is not just theory. The main guideline of the department is the practical applicability of knowledge. We effectively combine the academic depth of the disciplines of the logistics cycle with real business demands, building the educational process as a platform for the future success of our students.
