Why choose this programme?

Shahaan Ahmed Ansari

Student of the Management programme, Global business and analytics branch

It has been a wonderful experience to attend Vilnius University. The lecturers use real-world examples to explain complicated topics, and university staff constantly try to go out of their way to assist you in every possible manner. The classrooms are full of different cultures, and I have learned so much about different perspectives during my studies. Vilnius is a magnificent place to live, I especially recommend exploring the old town where you will always find something new while cruising through the historical alleys. My experience has been really pleasant at VU and I highly appreciate it. You will spend many memorable days here that you will cherish for a lifetime!
