an exceptional time in my life.
For my BA I majored in finance and banking. For a girl from a village outside Vilnius it had been something
unimaginable. Good equipment,
big warm lecture halls and great
atmosphere in the hallways create best conditions for studies. Teachers are
accessible and always helpful. They are talented people with passion.Tatjana Glazko, Management student from Lithuania
