Close Relationship with Business
In classes, students constantly tackle current business issues. Our students even complete internships in companies twice during their studies to better discover what suits them. The result? Business representatives highly value ISM students and alumni!
As an ISM student, I participated in visits to top Vilnius companies, including EY Lithuania, where I now work. These visits helped me build connections, explore career options, and showcase my skills to my current employer.

What makes ISM special?
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.

We are partnering with Change Makers On, one of the providers of this program, and have signed a contract to give all of our students this opportunity.
Students will be able to choose the country and company/host organization or mentor they are going to work with (they will have to meet certain requirements so that we can be sure the student is not going to do only irrelevant minor tasks) and will receive between 600 and 800 euros for flight tickets + 1000 euros for living expenses/month (maximum possible mentorship duration – 3 months).

How much does it cost? No extra fees apply. You will pay the usual tuition fee.
How long does it take? The exchange semester lasts about 5 months
What do I have to do to participate in the exchange program? You have to pass the exams – you are permitted to fail only one exam.
