Learning Marketing with Real-Life Insights

Arina Balaban

Global marketing study programme student

Joining the VU and Global Marketing program was spontaneous, but it was still my best decision. The main thing I appreciate about our studies is the professionalism of our lecturers, who are always prepared to give you real-life examples from their professional background. Also, I've never felt non-equality here. Our lecturers always refer to us as "colleagues" or "future colleagues," which makes me feel more confident and respected.

Studying Global Marketing gave me a lot of knowledge about how business works. Now, seeing companies' activities, I see it not only as a customer, but as a marketer, voluntarily and consciously becoming a marketing victim😄. 

Jokes aside, I love my program. It already gave me a quality base for work in marketing, and I believe there's more to come! 


Your Gateway to International Marketing Careers

Kornelija Keteriūtė

Global marketing  study programme student

I can confidently say that this is one of the most well-rounded programmes for anyone looking to build a career in marketing. The course selection covers a wide range of areas within the field, and their relevance is constantly reviewed through regular feedback sessions with students.

The international environment created by the programme makes it much easier to transition into the global job market—working with people from different cultural backgrounds becomes second nature. While studying in a foreign language might seem intimidating at first, it really boosts your confidence, especially when it comes to networking with professionals from abroad, which I’d say is a key part of doing business.

I’d even argue this programme is one of the best choices if you’re considering an ERASMUS exchange. You don’t have to stress about understanding the material or language barriers as if it wa your first time switching to an English programme —you can just switch locations and immerse yourself in new cultures. And if going abroad isn’t for you, no worries—there are plenty of business opportunities right here within the faculty. Honestly, it feels like opportunities are just more accessible and easier to pursue thanks to this programme. 

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s into psychology, business and data, since these three areas are present in almost every course.
