In issue 4/2003 of “Logistyka”, addresses of schools and universities where one can acquire knowledge in the field of logistics were published. This list consisted of 4 tables containing information on logistics education in: post-secondary schools, non-state higher education institutions and state higher education institutions, as well as separate information on postgraduate logistics studies. This was the first attempt to collect and present this information in a synthetic form, which – as it later turned out – quickly found imitators in some other logistics media.
Due to the fact that the previous, first arrangement of information, among other things, did not indicate universities particularly focused on logistics education, and furthermore combined several groups of information recipients (in one place there was data for people deepening their secondary education (post-secondary schools), obtaining a bachelor’s and master’s degree (higher education), and supplementing their knowledge at the postgraduate level, and in the same table and without any distinction there were universities where there are logistics majors and those where, for example, a mechanical engineer or an officer acquires a logistics specialization), we decided to detail the current compilation.
In accordance with the question posed in the title, we present universities where one can study logistics and, separately, those where this field of knowledge is a subject of specialization within other professions.
The compilation is for informational purposes only. For details, please inquire at the appropriate dean’s offices or at the recruitment committees relevant to a given university. One should not rely on information provided on the Internet, as it is quite rarely updated, and outdated data is not deleted. When calculating education costs, one should take into account the fact that university authorities are not very willing to disclose all charges. It is also almost universal to hide the substantive effects of studies. Specializations are usually introduced only in the final years, and there is never a certainty that by making a decision about a field of study, we simultaneously guarantee ourselves a given specialization. It should be expressed that we will learn logistics most fully at universities focused on this field of knowledge.
The article comes from the magazine “Logistyka” no. 4/2006.
