„Significant technological development and globalization has led to businesses becoming increasingly innovative. Accounting is progressively viewed not merely as a technical function, but rather as a crucial business process, encompassing functions ranging from accounting organization to business analytics. Accounting professionals are increasingly seen as important business partners, who contribute with significant value. As a result, there is a growing demand for specialists capable of organizing and managing this process. Vilnius University teaches a systematic approach to accounting, trains confident and creative thinkers, who understand the philosophy and logic behind the accounting processes, and educates future accounting mentors and leaders. It is therefore not surprising that the most senior people in our organization are graduates of this university.

Each year we offer at least 5 students paid internships giving them the opportunity to combine work and study..“

Testimonials

"I will admit - when graduating from high school, like most of my peers, I was not sure about the field of study - I fluctuated between economics, law, political science, management. However, the fact that I graduated from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration with a bachelor's and a master's degree and later defended my dissertation only confirms that I made the right choice.

In the first weeks of my studies, I realized that I like science, and the flexibility of the faculty and the opportunities for additional activities ensure my full development. I will never forget the first session when a math teacher evaluated my efforts during the semester, waived an exam, and wrote a ten. I also will never forget the first days of the faculty event „Mercury days“ together with the student representative office - how we flew around the dormitory of Saulėtekis in order to make the letters VU EF shine in its windows.

In the subsequent courses, the opportunity to combine studies and work was very important, and during the lectures to analyze the practical situations I encounter at work. There were no major problems here either, and as one of the most interesting master's projects, I remember a study by myself and several group members about myself as a "brand": the teacher gave us the task of choosing and analyzing how a brand works, and we are we decided that it would be very interesting to analyze ourselves - after all, each of us has a certain education, experience, knowledge, skills, which we "sell" in the labor market. Maybe it's possible to measure? We wanted to know that and, of course, try our "brands".

Later, while already studying for a doctorate, I saw another aspect of the faculty more clearly - scientific. Just at that time, VU MKIC (the new library) opened its doors, where I spent a lot of time with monographs, scientific articles and databases. And what about the development of public speaking skills by teaching students and attending conferences!

I am happy to have an opportunity to be a part of Vilnius University. Here you can not only acquire knowledge about accounting and auditing, but also the skills needed later in life. Although I haven't finished my studies yet, I have already been able to get advice from really great lecturers, get involved in the events organized by the Vilnius University Student Representation. I have many opportunities to combine my studies and even traveling. If I could go back to the past, I would certainly not hesitate to choose this university. I recommend it to others!
