Transport Economics is a new specialization that the University of Logistics in Poznań will offer starting in October. Created within the Economics field of study, it is aimed primarily at those interested in issues related to supply, transport, logistics, and international trade. The studies last three years and lead to a bachelor’s degree.
– Progressive globalization processes significantly influence the growing importance of transport. An efficient transport system not only activates the national economy but also enables the dynamic development of international trade. That is why we decided to create a new specialization – says Wojciech Zalewski, press spokesperson for the University of Logistics. – Graduates of “Transport Economics” will be experts in areas such as corporate capital management, as well as specialists in formal and customs issues related to the flow of goods. These are exactly the kind of people that the largest companies in the country and abroad are looking for today – he adds.
The study program for the “Transport Economics” specialization has been designed to best prepare young people in the functioning of transport and forwarding companies in the transport market.
Over the course of three years, students will learn, among other things, transport and customs law, transport technologies and contracts, and real estate management methods. The program will also include subjects such as: transport and forwarding in domestic and foreign trade, design of transport systems, packaging in logistics systems, and management in the automotive industry.
– The knowledge acquired will make WSL graduates excellent candidates for positions as transport and logistics specialists in the largest transport, forwarding, and consulting companies – claims Wojciech Zalewski.
