In the contemporary landscape, marketing no longer requires additional advertising because the demand for specialists in the field is growing every year, and the number of vacancies for marketers and other specialists in this niche has already broken all records.
As for tourism, this sphere does not lose its attractiveness and remains the main budget-forming component for many countries worldwide. Real professionals in tourism are in great demand both in Ukraine and abroad.
The Department of Marketing and Tourism stands out favorably in the educational and informational markets of Ukraine. We specialize in training experts in the fields of tourism and marketing—fields that have confirmed their importance, sustainability, and competitiveness amid the challenges of recent years.
Educational programs for which the department conducts training
learning and teaching
The Department positions itself as a structural unit applying a new philosophy of providing educational services. We transition from a system of obtaining only knowledge to a competence approach based on end-to-end interdisciplinary training, expanded practical training, and implementation of innovative approaches using the most modern tools and teaching aids.
The educational process at the department is based on the following principles:
· Flexibility and adaptation to labour market requirements
· Creativity and innovation in the educational process
· Professionalism and responsibility of teachers
· Internationalization of the educational process
An organic combination of traditional subject training and educational and training forms, taking into account the real conditions of modern enterprises.
A high level of professional training of students is ensured by mastering the basic knowledge of modern disciplines, covering the specifics and features of the functioning and development of tourism enterprises and marketing systems of modern enterprises and organizations.
The focus of the teaching staff is on the development, modernization, and implementation of competitive educational programs in accordance with the standards of higher education and the challenges of the modern labour market. There’s also a strong emphasis on developing relations with organizations that are potential employers and utilizing their resources to ensure the educational process.
The department’s educational programs are implemented by professionals with many years of experience in teaching professional disciplines, who undergo internships abroad and incorporate international practices into their courses. The staff of the department harmoniously combines scientists and practitioners working in leading domestic and international enterprises.
Educational and methodical work at the department is carried out as a holistic system of actions and measures aimed at ensuring the quality of professional training for students, improving the qualifications and professionalism of professors and teaching staff, and activating the creative potential of teachers and students.
Practical training of students is carried out at enterprises, institutions, and organizations with which relevant agreements have been concluded (including
foreign ones) and is aimed at connecting the educational process with the realities of modern business development as much as possible.
The acquisition of professional competences is ensured through the participation of students in various scientific and practical activities of the department, including trainings and the annual tourist flight of students and graduates of the specialty.
Graduates of the "Tourism" and "Marketing" specialties are capable of performing research, information-analytical, organizational-management, and administrative-economic work in various positions such as managers of tourist enterprises, institutions, and organizations; managers in travel agencies and travel bureaus; in hotels, restaurants, in the fields of culture, recreation, and sports; and as marketers of enterprises in any sphere of the economy and forms of ownership.
