It all started with a dream!There were dreams about a modern educational institution, dreams about successful graduates, dreams about specialists who would develop the young country. It is hard to believe it now, but back in 1992 such specialties as Management, Marketing, Public Administration were not only unpopular, but almost little-known in Ukraine.Exactly on these specialties the accent was made when establishing Donetsk Academy of Management. Within the next 15 years he created a modern Donetsk State University of Management on a basis of a private educational institution. The year 2004 was marked for the Academy as the time for radical changes, great prospects and ambitious plans. By the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Donetsk Academy of Management was awarded the higher rank of the higher education establishment - university. Thus, Donetsk State University of Management was established in 2004. By that time there were about 6 thousand students, about 1000 academic and administrative staff. The facilities included 5 educational buildings, 3 dormitories and well- developed social infrastructure.In 2014, due to the outbreak of the military conflict in the East of Ukraine, the academic staff and students of Donetsk State University of Management had to leave their hometown and started a completely new stage of development in the city of Mariupol. Prof.Svitlana Marova was appointed to be an Acting Rector and in due course she became the Rector of DSUM. In the first years after the displacement, Prof.Svitlana Marova and her team had to apply in practice all the skills of the anti-crisis manager, restoring the University almost from scratchIn 2020, implementation of two infrastructure projects was started within the framework of the European Commission programme to support displaced educational institutions in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
