Kotryna Žemaitytė, Alumni

By choosing the Entrepreneurship and Management study programme, I had the opportunity to learn about the business environment and business communities. In my opinion, the biggest advantage of this programme is that teachers themselves are entrepreneurs and leaders in their fields, sharing experiences gained in the development of innovative business and treating students as potential colleagues.
