In response to the need to train specialists of a new formation capable of making effective decisions in the context of Ukraine’s involvement in the global economic system, the Department of International Economics was established at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv Economics Faculty in May 1998. The founder and first head of the department was a well-known scientist, doctor of economic sciences, professor A.P. Rumyantsev. Since July 2002, the department has been headed by Doctor of Economic Sciences, professor, laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology Starostina Alla Oleksiivna.

Since 2013, the department has expanded the list of training areas and changed its name to the Department of International Economics and Marketing.

From May 2023, in a situation of growing demand for highly qualified marketing specialists, a decision was made to divide the areas of training and create a department of marketing and business administration.
