"I was looking for a specific Master’s degree programme that would be interesting for me, and I found the International Business Management Master's studies at the Kaunas Faculty. During the studies, I started going into the details of the main research topic that I am still working on now, and I find it quite exciting."

Mariam Kasradze, study programme graduate, VU KnF doctoral student from Sakartvelo, Marketing Project Manager at „Go Vilnius“

"I totally enjoyed the programme, and my studies opened doors for me in both my academic and personal life. Firstly, the flexibility and diversity of the curriculum are huge advantages. It’s ideal if you are interested in many aspects of international business. The programme offers a global perspective on business management, providing students with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of the international business environment. Secondly, the lecturers are all fully qualified, and each one has a unique way of imparting knowledge to the students. We had many interactive classes, which included seminars, group tasks, and even debates among the students; it was delightful. Thirdly, I had the opportunity to network not only with my fellow students but also with various individuals through my participation in the annual Prof Vladas Gronskas International Scientific Conference, as well as outside the classroom. VU will always be my university, and I can only wish for other students to join us and experience something truly unique."
