“Essentially, the most important thing that these studies provided for me are critical thinking skills and the ability to learn independently. From the perspective of the lifelong learning philosophy, these are very important skills, necessary for a modern person. The ability to collect, organize and analyse information, and to build knowledge or draw conclusions about global or business processes. These studies have laid the foundations for a broad range of career opportunities and have provided me with the tools for improving and constantly learning while pursuing a career or business. Of course, studying is a an integral part of social life, and I have met a lot of like-minded people during my studies, with whom I am still in contact today.”

“Studying at VU FEBA allowed me to pursue ambitious goals. Studying was interesting, new, and sometimes difficult. What I appreciate the most, is that in addition to learning basic knowledge, the university taught me to be independent, to search for additional information myself, to go deeper, to analyse, and to adapt acquired knowledge for specific situations. These skills have been very useful in my professional career: flexibility, the courage to try new areas and the desire to continuously improve have truly aided me in my daily work.
We each take away what we need or want during our university studies.”
Laima Juknevičiūtė, Executive Director, CJSC Brolis semiconductors
“I graduated from the Faculty of Economics at Vilnius University in 2008. It was a high-level programme, which provided me with foundational knowledge in financial theory and taught me to apply it in practice for corporate financial management. I have consistently implemented this combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in my professional activities, and gradually, after moving through the positions of financial analyst and CFO, I have become what I am today – the head of the largest real estate development company in the Baltic States – CJSC Hanner.”
