ISM University of Management and Economics Speciality : Economics
programme: Economics and Politics

I enjoyed the professors so much – all of them having an international background as well as practical experience that they shared with us. Most of them showed passion towards the topic/discipline the were teaching and were prioritising students’ understanding of subject!

Years after graduation, I realise more acutely that there was a lack of technical and IT training during my ISM studies. We did receive basic Excel training, which was very useful, but there was a distinct lack of other critical skills – coding, data processing and visualisation.

The professors are very friendly, knowledgable, and eager to help. The lectures are informative and fit the courses well. Much care is given to student satisfaction and the facilities are newly renovated. The location is great, although there are some problems with finding parking.

This is the only university in Lithuania where students share a truly focused mindset. Everyone brings their unique interests, which creates an inspiring environment where we all motivate each other. One of the best things about ISM is its strong emphasis on networking—you really have to be part of the community to fully experience it.
My program is the only one of its kind in Lithuania. However, it is offered at a university primarily focused on business and finance, so the political aspects sometimes feel overlooked, and it can seem like we aren’t fully introduced to potential career paths after graduation. However, the program is interesting and valuable.

Great people, great facilities, great location, disappointed in the overall structure of the economics and politics programme. It focuses much more on the economics part than the politics. If you like to constantly yap this is not for you.

Since I started studying at ISM, I have encountered many new experiences. After completing my first year of studies, I can say that I really enjoyed the mathematics and politics courses mainly because of the professors. ISM always hosts many events, and the student life is pretty active, so I had no trouble making new friends in a different country. Currently, I am on an Erasmus exchange, and the staff was really helpful with the application process. However, I did have some problems regarding my scholarship that I was not aware of and overall I would say that the studies here are not the easiest.

There are many future opportunities after studying at this university. It has many clubs such as CEO club, Marketing or Investment clubs. To find like-minded people in ISM is super easy, that’s how you kickstart your career.
