Development and Implementation of Intensive International Educational Programmes as a Component of the University’s Offer Expansion
The project is financed by the European Social Development Fund 2021–2027 (FERS) and will be carried out under the NAWA programme “Support for the Creation and Implementation of International Educational Programmes” project number FERS.01.05-IP.08-0436/23.
Project implementation period: 01/06/2025 – 31/07/2026
Project description:
The development of internationalisation is one of the key pillars of the Internationalisation Strategy of the International University of Logistics and Transport in Wrocław. The University’s international profile is closely linked to its mission and strategic goals. Therefore, the University aims not only to maintain and strengthen its position in countries where it is already well established, but also to enter new markets with a new offer of intensive international educational programmes (micro-qualifications).
Introducing micro-qualifications into the University's offer also supports the promotion and creation of a strong, recognisable brand. As part of the project, five intensive international educational programmes will be developed, leading to competence certification (micro-qualifications), including:
1. MODERN TECHNOLOGIES IN LOGISTICS – 60 hours
- Essence of modern technologies and IT support in logistics,
- Classification of modern logistics technologies and their areas of application,
- ERP systems,
- WMS – Warehouse Management System,

- RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) – laboratory classes,
- Barcodes,
- Modelling logistics processes (AnyLogic) – laboratory classes,
- Database technologies,
- Agent technologies,
- Voice solutions – voice-controlled systems,
- Future logistics and new technologies,
- Laboratory classes.
2. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LOGISTICS AND THE SUPPLY CHAIN – 30 hours

- Laboratory classes.
5. USE OF UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVs) IN LOGISTICS – 30 hours
- Structure of unmanned aerial vehicles,
- Operation and maintenance of UAVs,
- Principles of airspace use,
- Legal aspects of UAV utilisation,
- Application of UAVs in logistics (monitoring, measurements, thermography, etc.),
- Manual operation training, preparation of UAVs for flight,
- Training flights, take-off, landing, emergency procedures,
