 „During the pandemic I had doubts and was not sure how the remote studies would work for me. Despite that I came across the "Finance and Banking" master's degree studies in Vilnius University which not only offer remote studies, but also, the program is accredited by CFA Institute. During one and half years I had great experience, deepened my knowledge, and met a lot of wonderful people from all around the world. The program itself offers quite a variety of different subjects that can be applied in theoretical and in practical situations.
To conclude, I highly recommend the "Finance and Banking" program and invite to be part of the awesome Vilnius University community.“ Julius Kviklis, Financial Analyst, KlassJet |

The lecturers are passionate, have considerable knowledge and experience, apply newest and actual learning methods, so, you are swept in the studying process all time. As well, if you like good, professional English – you are welcome, all lecturers speak English fluently. But, you should study hard, because a large amount of studying materials you will face on a daily basis.
