In issue 4/2003 of “Logistyka”, we published a list of schools and universities where one can acquire knowledge in the field of logistics. This list consisted of 4 tables containing information on logistics education in: post-secondary schools, private higher education institutions, and public higher education institutions, as well as a separate section 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 – was soon followed by some other logistics media.
Due to the fact that the previous, initial layout of information did not, among other things, indicate universities specifically focused on logistics education, and furthermore combined several groups of information recipients (data for people furthering their secondary education (post-secondary schools), those obtaining bachelor’s and master’s degrees (higher education), and those supplementing their knowledge at a postgraduate level were all in one place, and the same table included, without any distinction, universities with logistics degree programs and those where, for example, a mechanical engineer or an officer acquires a logistics specialization), we decided to refine 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 the relevant admissions committees for 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 One should not rely on information provided on the Internet, as it is quite rarely updated, and outdated data is not deleted.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 fees. It is also almost universal to hide the substantive outcomes of studies. Specializations are usually introduced only in the final years, and there is never a guarantee that by making a decision about a field of study, we are simultaneously guaranteeing ourselves a specific specialization. It should be stated that we will learn logistics most thoroughly at universities focused on this field of knowledge.
