Student testimonials

Arita Priedniece, student from Latvia

I have chosen this programme and university because it has old, strong education traditions, and is known widely. Vilnius University is the first in Lithuania according to national ranking. The second thing I would like to mention is that this program perfectly fits my career aims and life goals. Also, I wanted to have my master abroad to gain international experience.
I am really satisfied with my choice and I don’t regret it. My professors are professional in their fields because their teaching and communication style are easy and understandable in each situation. My courses mates are really nice and friendly people. It is not easy to study in MIF, but I can say that it is really challenging and interesting. I think it is worth having this kind of life experience.
