Economics

We are always looking for the right answers on how society, government, and various businesses make economic decisions. How they are able to allocate limited resources most efficiently and get the most out of it fundamentally.

The main task of the Master of Economics program is to shape your gained expertise into real, applicable solutions, utilise them nationally and internationally, and create the companies that will implement them.

Our graduates are frequent winners of prizes and awards from the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, the Ministries of Education, Science, and Sports and master’s thesis competitions.

The Economics studies in KTU deepened my knowledge and skills necessary in the evaluation of business and economics challenges in the globalisation context and in making daily decisions related to the company’s management. Modelling of business environment, strategic insights, financial and marketing decisions of the company are only a small share of competencies I acquired when studying in this programme.

The Economics studies helped me to educate my analytical skills, their application in practical activity by analysing and interpreting the sources, performing the empirical research and summarising the conclusions. The global context opened the possibilities to apply the acquired skills in daily situations and in making strategic decisions of the international company.
