The MSc in Economics has helped me to deepen my practical and theoretical knowledge, to challenge my personality by combining work and studies, and to better plan my time and prioritise the tasks. These studies helped me to understand the economic laws and business trends at work, which is important for setting up a business or getting a high position at work.
After completing my master’s degree, I was promoted in my workplace. I think this is due to my work experience and performance, as well as the time management, productivity competencies and broader knowledge I gained during my studies. Also, the interesting content of the master’s programme has encouraged me to further my knowledge of economics at PhD level.
There is still a high demand for economic specialists. It is not a narrow profession, but one that encompasses a broad view of the world and the laws of economics from a global perspective. Lithuania has not been a business backwater in the European Union for a long time, so it is easy for these professionals to find work both in Lithuania and abroad.
Lithuanian is the only language used in the programme. It is used for all educational activities, such as lectures, coursework and assessments.
These studies are ideal for those who want to deepen their understanding of economic analysis, decision-making and research. They provide a solid foundation for careers in the public sector, business or research. In addition, you will also develop leadership skills and the ability to tackle complex economic challenges.
This MSc in Economics provides you with in-depth knowledge of macroeconomic analysis, financial and investment management, competition and taxation, international economics and globalisation, and behavioural economics. The programme focuses not only on theoretical knowledge, but also on the opportunity to apply your skills in practice to complex economic problems, both locally and internationally.
