Why choose this programme?

Alejandro Turégano

Marketing and Integrated Communication study programme graduate from Mexico

My academic journey as a student in Vilnius University's Marketing and Integrated Communication Master's program was a transformative experience. This international education broadened my horizons and enhanced my intellectual capabilities, reinforcing my belief in the significance of global talent with cross-cultural understanding. Despite the challenges of being so far away from home and integrating myself in a new culture and language; the vibrant VU community and welcoming city of Vilnius offered a memorable and enriching experience. Engaging with international students, dedicated lecturers, and participating in a semester abroad to Germany were highlights of this program. The flexible schedules, practical course materials, and opportunities for international exposure, including double degrees and exchange opportunities, made Vilnius University an excellent choice for my postgraduate studies, and I am incredibly satisfied with this decision. If I was asked whether I'd choose this path again or not; I would say yes without any hesitation.

Why choose this programme?

Giancarlo Farfan

Marketing and Integrated Communication study programme graduate from Peru

I truly believe that global companies need global talent with a diverse understanding of cultures and fast adaptability. This is the main reason why I've chosen to complete a master's degree in a foreign country like Lithuania and especially in a second language. I would like to recap some of the greatest moments and also the biggest challenges of it. Because my studies were in the middle of the pandemic of COVID-19.

Nevertheless, the VU community in 2019 had one regular semester, and only this short time was enough to connect with the international students, lecturers, and of course groupmates. Vilnius, it's a really welcoming city for foreign students, I must add. One of the coolest thing I did while being a student was being part of two "SMART Internships", in which a team of international students and locals from many different faculties solve one real business case, I highly recommend this kind of experience.

For me personally, the biggest benefit of joining the Marketing and Integrated Master degree program is that you will have groupmates and lecturers from so many interesting countries and that diversity by itself was by far the greatest advantage. Some other things you must know, from time to time we received the visit from representatives of different big companies with operations in the Baltics or other parts of Europe, that was really inspirational I would say; you got flexible timetables, all of our lectures were during the evening so there is the possibility to work, and as a student that's a big plus; the master thesis was the most difficult task we had but also the most rewarding. Overall, I am really happy and satisfied with my decision to have chosen Vilnius University for my postgraduate studies.
