Balance sheet is a term used in finance, but it is also a perfect description of this master’s degree, which combines theoretical lectures with practical examples. I returned to education after a long break and was hesitant about whether I would be motivated enough, but each lecture has increased my desire to know, learn and improve, and I have been able to gain experience not only from the lecturers but also from my colleagues, who are both early-career practitioners and finance managers.
After completing my bachelor’s studies, I got a job in an international company and simultaneously received an invitation to study at KTU for my Master’s degree. The knowledge and experience I gained here allowed me to move up the career ladder faster. Combining new competencies with an internship in business was a great way to reach new career heights.
KTU master’s graduates are distinguished by their logical thinking and broad understanding of processes. Master’s studies provide a broader understanding of markets and the processes that are happening in them, they possess knowledge that can be applied in various discussions with colleagues, partners and employers. Good financial analysts and financial accountants are hard to find in the job market today, which is why this specialisation is in high demand.
This programme is only available in Lithuanian and all teaching materials, coursework and assessments are conducted in this language.
