Department of Management and Finance
The Department of Management and Finance was established on November 1, 2022, through the amalgamation of the departments of general management, industry management, finance, and accounting. These departments had been functioning under the umbrella of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Management at Mariupol University since 2004. The consolidated department is responsible for training specialists in the fields of direction 073, encompassing "Management," "Finance, Banking, and Insurance," and "Accounting and Taxation."
The primary objective of the department is to cultivate highly qualified professionals: managers, financiers, and experts in banking, insurance, accounting, and taxation. These professionals should be proactive and adept at swift adaptation to the demands of the modern business environment.
The competitive edge of the department’s educational programs ensures that students achieve specific program learning outcomes, including:
· The opportunity to study disciplines in English.
· Involvement of business environment representatives and practitioners with extensive experience in management positions in the training process
· Access to international programs of academic mobility (such as parallel study or internships in Higher Education Institutions of EU countries) and other educational and scientific projects.
· Support in employment at partner enterprises of the university and potential employers.
The primary focus of the Department of Management and Finance is the formation and development of student science. Graduates engage in research work within the scientific interests of the department. This involves researching current problems in management and marketing management of enterprises, assessing prospects and priority directions for the development of systems managing the financial and economic security of the state, and addressing issues in financial and accounting activities.

Practicing specialists from various fields actively participate in teaching disciplines, allowing students to combine theoretical learning with practical experience.
The overarching mission of the department is to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to become highly qualified specialists — proactive managers, financiers, and experts in banking, insurance, accounting, and taxation, capable of swift adaptation to the demands of the modern business environment.
Currently, the Department of Management and Finance is involved in the development of two comprehensive scientific topics. The first is the interdepartmental complex scientific topic titled "Strategy for the Development of Tourism and Recreational Potential of the Azov Region" (registration number 0120U101065, dated February 26, 2020). Professor Anzhelika Volodymyrivna Balabanyts, a Doctor of Economic Sciences, leads this complex scientific topic. The second topic is "Modern Directions and Mechanisms of Development of Innovative and Foreign Economic Activity at Different Levels of Management," led by Olena Georgiivna Tkachenko, Doctor of Economics and Associate Professor.
In 2023, the department successfully underwent accreditation for the third level of education (Doctor of Philosophy) in the ONP Management and enrolled graduate students at this level. The department also operates a scientific school of management, with Professor V. Ya. Omelchenko at the helm. The main scientific directions of the school include the research of current problems in the management and marketing of enterprises, particularly in the fields of tourism and hotel and restaurant business, the assessment of prospects, and priority directions for the development of systems managing the financial and economic security of the state. The scientific endeavors of the teachers and students in "Management" specialties focus on researching problems related to managing innovation and investment development, the competitiveness of enterprises and the national economy, improving the state administration system under decentralization, and the development of local self-government. They also delve into the implementation of strategic decisions in enterprise and organizational management, considering global challenges, as well as the development and management of integration processes and investment projects.
