ISM University of Management and Economics
speciality: Business and Strategy

I completed my master’s degree at this university, and while the diploma is valid and has been genuinely helpful in securing good job opportunities, I found that the study program itself was not particularly strong. The curriculum could benefit from greater depth and better organisation.
On the positive side, the university offers excellent opportunities for networking. The students in the master’s programs are diverse, motivated, and valuable connections to have for future collaboration and professional growth.
The academic environment was decent, and some professors were supportive, but overall the program did not fully meet my expectations in terms of quality. It’s a suitable option if you are primarily looking for a respected diploma and a strong professional network, but if you’re seeking a challenging or innovative academic experience, this may not be the best choice.

Participating in the Global Leadership & Strategy course at ISM was an incredibly enriching experience for me. The program managed to strike an ideal balance between solid theoretical foundations and practical, real-world application, helping me gain a deeper understanding of the complex challenges global leaders face today & how to overcome those. The faculty members were genuinely passionate and brought valuable industry insights, which made each session engaging, stimulating, and thought-provoking. The course placed a strong emphasis on leadership development and strategic thinking—skills I could immediately incorporate into my daily work. The study environment was welcoming and conducive to meaningful connections, allowing me to network with professionals from diverse backgrounds and industries. This exposure broadened my perspective and significantly enhanced my cross-cultural management skills. Looking back, I see this experience as a pivotal step in my professional journey.

As an international student at ISM, my experience so far has been truly rewarding. ISM offers a vibrant and welcoming environment, making it easy for international students to adapt to Vilnius. The friendly professors and staff provide great academic and personal support, while the strong alumni network adds great connections around the companies.

Career consultation and career fairs organized by the university help students to explore new opportunities, build strong connections, and prepare for the job market. The international culture and atmosphere and diverse culture make learning even more engaging.
