“The studies at IBEM programme was a significant opportunity in terms of academic experience and beyond. The quality of the lectures exceeded my expectations. The ability to experience the teaching methods of professors from many different countries was another side of making the programme more interesting. I was honoured to be given the Vilnius University Scholarship introduced to international master students which was a great help and incentive to perform highly. During the time at VU, I was able to participate in some projects, pursued an internship at a consulting company in Vilnius, and received an Erasmus Traineeship to pursue an internship abroad, which resulted to my current employment.”
