"International ISM Master Study programme recognition is a case in point that our university may not only compete but also be the leader in the community of international universities by offering high quality study programmes to the students and company executives. In Eduniversal ranking our MA programmes were recognised the best in two categories, whereas the university was ranked high among two hundred business schools worldwide. So, the Lithuanian students may study at the establishment where the quality can compete with Western European and US universities. We hope that this will encourage our students to study in Lithuania,"– dr. Nerijus Pačesa rector of ISM School of Management and Economics said.
