Simas Vasiljevas, Business Logistics student. Lithuania
I have been working in the field of logistics for a long time. I have a lot of practice, but there is a lack of theoretical knowledge and justification. Part-time master studies of Business Logistics are an attractive combination of work and study. I am happy for my decision that it is never too late to learn, as I meet new interesting people and, of course, professional teachers. The quality of studies is high, the teachers are competent, pleasant and understanding. Friendly and respectful relationship between students and teachers prevail. Business Logistics studies are great opportunity for professional development.
Egidija Žaludienė, Business Logistics student. Lithuania
I chose to study master's degree in Business logistics from a future perspective, as my undergraduate studies were in English and Russian, and I wanted an additional education in another field of study. Also, in pursuit of further career prospects, I have decided that master's degree will be very rewarding in the future. As Business logistics is a new field for me, the knowledge and experience gained during the studies are very useful. I learned a lot of new things and expanded my knowledge. I evaluate the quality of studies very well.
