ISM is much more than high-quality studies. After graduating, I received two diplomas from KEDGE Business School (France) and ISM, and I participated in an exchange program in Singapore in the fourth semester.

Every day in my work I get to meet professionals from various business fields and it helps me grow. Studying at ISM University allowed me to gain a wide range of knowledge that I use on a daily basis: from the intricacies of teamwork to business concepts in communicating with clients. However, the most important thing that ISM has given me is a broader understanding of marketing and business development, critical thinking skills and the ability to analyze the market situation.

Located in the Heart of Vilnius
We've revitalized a historic building right in the heart of Vilnius. Here, in the lively Gedimino Avenue, you'll find some of Lithuania's largest companies and institutions. From the terrace where our community enjoys coffee together, you'll have a breathtaking view of Gediminas' Tower!
The campus is truly inspiring. I believe that having the opportunity to view the beautiful architecture in this location through G7's large windows is incredibly motivating for students to pursue their goals.

Internationality
Right here in the heart of Vilnius, you'll feel like you're abroad, as ISM boasts many international professors, and your fellow students come from various countries around the world. Here, you'll build a strong international network. And if you wish, you'll have the opportunity to earn a double degree with universities in France or Norway.
One of the strongest things I took away from ISM is the belief that I can achieve anything I want. Because during your studies you get to meet people from various cultures, you quickly learn that you have a lot more opportunities and don't necessarily have to limit yourself to one market, such as Lithuania, for example.

The business management and marketing study program is an excellent choice for those looking for challenges and who want to achieve the highest results among like-minded people.
At ISM University of Management and Economics, you can apply for studies three times a year during the preliminary, main, and supplementary admissions.
Admission to the ISM University of Management and Economics takes place in three stages.
• Pre-admission takes place from 1 January to 30 April. In this way you can reserve a spot at ISM University with a higher chance of receiving a scholarship and other additional benefits.
• ISM’s internal admission takes place from 1 May to mid-August, during which you must submit an application in the ISM admission system, thus reserving a place at the university.
• From 1 June to the end of August, you can apply through general admissions to higher education institutions (LAMA BPO).
You can learn more about ISM admissions here: https://www.ism.lt/priemimas/.
ISM pre-admission is a unique opportunity to reserve a study place even before the exams and to have a greater chance of receiving 25%, 75% and 100% ISM scholarships. ISM pre-admission is special in that it evaluates not only academic achievements, but also the applicant’s motivation and extracurricular activities.
The following exams are required for admission to any ISM BA programme:
• Any subject not overlapping with other subjects or annual grade (0.2 points)
State scholarship (vnf/st) is a place with a study scholarship not funded by the state. Students who have passed the exams with the highest scores can receive this scholarship during general admission. At the time of 2023 admission, the state scholarship amounted to EUR 2865 per year.
In order to get a vnf/st study place, this must be selected in the general admission (LAMA BPO) system. It is important to mention that the ISM 75% and “100 Talents” scholarships comprise a state scholarship (vnf/st) and an additional scholarship awarded by the ISM University. Therefore, if a vnf/st study place is not selected during the general admission, applicants will lose the opportunity to receive both the 75% and “100 Talents” scholarships.
If you have a sufficient score and want to secure the opportunity to enter ISM University, we recommend that you choose a vnf/st study place in the LAMA BPO system as the first priority, and a vnf (non-state funded) study place as the second priority.
Applicants who completed their secondary education in foreign educational institutions should apply to the Study Quality Assessment Centre (hereinafter SKVC) regarding the recognition of the education received in foreign institutions and the determination of subject equivalents. If the diploma is recognised and after receiving the subject equivalents the applicant collects a minimum competitive score of 5.4, the applicant has the right to study at ISM University.
If you studied at another Lithuanian or foreign university and want to continue your studies at ISM University, please contact us by e-mail at bs@ism.lt. Admission to higher academic years takes place twice a year. Admission to the autumn semester studies is carried out from 1 July until 15 August. Admission to spring semester studies is carried out from 1 January until 15 January. Together with the application, please submit an academic certificate stating the subjects you studied at the university. Since each case is individual, we will personally provide you with the exact information.
The Career Centre operating at ISM helps each student take firm steps towards a fulfilling career. Meetings with business representatives are organised in cooperation with the best Lithuanian and international companies, and during individual consultations assistance is provided in choosing an organisation according to each student’s personal aspirations, needs and strengths. Every year we can offer students as many as 300 internships in the largest international companies.
More information about the ISM Career Centre here: https://www.ism.lt/karjeros-centras/.
Most of the lectures at ISM University are held in English, with the exception of the Business Management and Marketing and Economics and Data Analytics programmes, where part of the lectures are also held in Lithuanian.
We do not offer remedial studies, but we can offer additional studies, upon completion of which you can enrol in MA studies. For detailed information contact us at bs@ism.lt.
