See why Sustainable Finance and Investments at VU Business School is the finance specialisation for a career with both impact and opportunity.

What Should I Study in Finance?

Short answer: If you want a finance career that is both future proof and meaningful, consider studying Sustainable Finance and Investments at Vilnius University Business School (VU BS). It combines the rigor of traditional finance with the growing demand for environmental and social responsibility.

The Changing Face of Finance

Not long ago, a finance degree meant mastering balance sheets, risk models, and investment strategies with one clear goal: profit. Today, finance has a broader purpose. Global challenges like climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality have pushed investors to look beyond short term returns.

This shift has created a new field: Sustainable Finance. It is still about understanding the flow of capital, but it also measures how that capital impacts the planet and society. That makes it one of the fastest growing and most in demand areas in the financial sector.

Why Sustainable Finance Matters

Financial markets are being transformed by policies like the European Green Deal and new ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations. Banks, asset managers, and corporations now need professionals who can assess both financial performance and long term sustainability.

Studying Sustainable Finance means learning how to:

• Evaluate investments for their environmental and social impact
• Structure green bonds and sustainability linked loans
• Advise companies on ESG strategy
• Understand the intersection of policy, ethics, and profitability

At VU BS, these skills are taught through real world projects, case studies, and partnerships with companies already driving change.

The Baltic Advantage

Vilnius is emerging as a hotspot for fintech and green innovation. Here, the finance sector is agile and willing to experiment with sustainable investment models. As a VU BS student, you are not just learning theory. You are working on projects that reflect the real financial challenges and opportunities of the region and the wider European market.

Your classroom might be the place where a renewable energy startup pitches its funding plan. Your thesis could involve building an ESG risk assessment model for a Baltic bank. The opportunities are practical, relevant, and global in scope.

Building a Career with Purpose

Choosing to study Sustainable Finance and Investments means entering a field where demand for talent is outpacing supply. Graduates find roles in investment management, corporate finance, consultancy, policy making, and entrepreneurship. Some work for multinational financial institutions, others join impact funds, and many launch initiatives that blend finance with innovation.

VU BS equips you not only with the technical knowledge but also with the perspective to make finance a tool for long term value creation.

Final thought: If you are asking yourself what should I study in finance, the answer could be the field that prepares you for both career success and meaningful impact. At Vilnius University Business School, the master’s in Sustainable Finance and Investments places you at the forefront of a financial revolution where profitability and responsibility go hand in hand.

Find out the career paths open to you with an International Business degree and how VU Business School prepares you for global opportunities.

What Can I Do with an International Business Degree in Europe?

Short answer: With an International Business degree, especially from a globally connected place like Vilnius University Business School (VU BS), you can launch a career that takes you across industries, borders, and cultures, from global corporations to your own startup.

From Lecture Hall to Global Boardroom

The journey often begins in a classroom that does not feel like a classroom. At VU BS, discussions are less about memorizing theory and more about solving problems. Real ones, often brought in by companies looking for fresh ideas. One day you might be working on a market entry strategy for a Lithuanian tech startup, the next you are pitching a digital marketing campaign for a European fashion brand.

These projects are not just academic exercises. They are the first building blocks of a career in international business. Many graduates go on to work for multinational corporations, using the same skills they honed in class to manage cross-border teams and negotiate deals across time zones.

The Gateway to Europe’s Growing Markets

Studying business in Europe places you in a single market of more than 400 million people. In the Baltics, you are at a strategic intersection between Western Europe, Scandinavia, and fast-growing Eastern economies. Vilnius is small enough to make connections quickly, but big enough to host global companies, fintech innovators, and a buzzing startup ecosystem.

For a VU BS graduate, this means options. You might join a fast-moving marketing team in Berlin, become a supply chain analyst for a Scandinavian export firm, or take on an investment role in a fintech scale-up right here in Vilnius. The point is, you are mobile. Your skills are built for movement.

Building Your Own Path

Not everyone with an International Business degree follows a corporate ladder. Some choose to build something of their own. The entrepreneurial mindset is woven into the teaching approach at VU BS. Networking events, startup weekends, and mentorship from business leaders make launching a venture feel like a natural next step.

And Vilnius is the right city for it. With a high density of coworking spaces, accessible funding programs, and success stories like Vinted, the city gives young entrepreneurs room to experiment without the crushing costs of London or Paris.

A Career That Travels With You

The real beauty of an International Business degree in Europe is flexibility. You are not locked into one country, one industry, or even one role. Your skill set, managing projects across cultures, understanding global markets, adapting strategies to local realities, travels as easily as you do.

Whether you start in Vilnius and end up in Amsterdam, or join a Paris-based firm and later return to the Baltics to lead regional operations, the opportunities are shaped by your choices, not by borders.

Final thought: An International Business degree is more than a diploma. It is a passport to professional possibilities. At Vilnius University Business School, you do not just study business, you live it, surrounded by an ecosystem that connects you to the heart of Europe’s evolving economy. From here, the question is not “What can I do?” but “Where do I want to go next?”

Learn how studying business in the Baltics with VU Business School offers EU-quality education, lower costs, and access to high-growth markets.

How Does Studying Business in the Baltics Compare to Western Europe?

Short answer: Studying business in the Baltics - especially at Vilnius University Business School (VU BS) - offers the same international-standard education as Western Europe, but with smaller class sizes, lower living costs, and closer ties to fast-growing regional markets.

1. Quality Education at a Competitive Price

Baltic business schools follow European higher education standards (Bologna Process, ECTS credits), meaning the academic level matches Western Europe.

• Tuition fees and living expenses are often 40–60 % lower than in places like France, Germany, or the Netherlands.
• Smaller cohorts mean more personalized attention from professors.

VU BS, for example, offers internationally accredited programs with strong industry links - at a fraction of the cost of many Western European schools.

2. Strategic Location and Market Access

The Baltics sit at the crossroads of the EU and Northern/Eastern Europe.

• You’ll study in an EU country with easy access to markets in Scandinavia, Germany, and Poland.
• This location is attractive to companies expanding eastward or leveraging Baltic tech talent.

Vilnius is particularly well-connected, with budget flights to major European cities and an economy that’s among the fastest-growing in the EU.

3. Ties to Rapidly Growing Startup Ecosystems

While Western Europe has established corporate hubs, the Baltics have become startup powerhouses.

• Lithuania alone has produced unicorns like Vinted and Nord Security.
• The Baltic startup scene offers faster career growth, as smaller teams often mean you take on more responsibility earlier.

VU BS taps into this energy through entrepreneurial projects, accelerators, and networking events embedded in the curriculum.

4. International Diversity in a Smaller Setting

In Western Europe, international diversity is often spread across massive campuses. In the Baltics, you’ll find:

• Tightly-knit international student communities where networking is easier and more personal.
• Opportunities to build close relationships with professors, alumni, and local entrepreneurs.

VU BS’s English-taught programs attract students from dozens of countries, creating a global classroom in a local setting.

5. Lifestyle and Work-Life Balance

Baltic capitals like Vilnius offer:

• Safe, walkable cities with rich cultural life.
• Affordable housing and living costs compared to London, Paris, or Amsterdam.
• Access to nature within minutes of campus - ideal for a balanced student life.

Quick Comparison Table

Bottom line: If you want a European-standard business education combined with affordability, close industry links, and access to high-growth markets, the Baltics - especially Vilnius University Business School - offer a compelling alternative to traditional Western European destinations.

What Should I Expect from a European Business School Experience?

You can expect an international, collaborative, and career-focused learning environment - where theory meets real-world practice, and networking is as important as the lectures.

1. International Classrooms

European business schools, especially in cities like Vilnius, Barcelona, and Amsterdam, attract students from all over the world.

• Your classmates will often come from 10+ nationalities, bringing diverse perspectives to every group project.
• Courses are usually taught in English, with optional local language classes.

Example: At Vilnius University Business School (VU BS), bachelor’s and master’s programs are filled with international students, creating a global mindset from day one.

2. Practical, Project-Based Learning

European business education tends to favor “learning by doing” over purely theoretical study.

• Expect case studies, simulations, startup challenges, and consultancy projects with real companies.
• Professors often have industry backgrounds - meaning they teach from lived experience, not just textbooks.

VU BS, for instance, incorporates team-building, storytelling, and entrepreneurial projects directly into the curriculum.

3. Networking Beyond the Classroom

One of the biggest values of a European business school is the ecosystem around it:

• Frequent guest lectures from CEOs, investors, and startup founders.
• Access to events, accelerators, and career fairs.
• Opportunities to collaborate with local and international companies.

In Vilnius, this often means meeting professionals from the city’s fast-growing startup scene - home to unicorns like Vinted and Nord Security.

4. Career Support and Internships

Most European business schools integrate internships or work placements into the program.

• Many have partnerships with companies across Europe, making it easier to gain cross-border work experience.
• Career centers offer CV workshops, interview prep, and alumni networking.

VU BS students often secure internships with Baltic and EU companies even before graduation.

5. Life Beyond Studies

Studying in Europe isn’t just about academics - it’s also about lifestyle and travel:

• Compact geography and budget airlines make weekend trips across the continent easy.
• Many cities offer a high quality of life - safe, walkable, with rich cultural life and affordable living compared to the US or UK.

Vilnius, for example, combines historic charm with a modern creative scene, and ranks among Europe’s most livable small capitals.

Bottom line: A European business school experience blends rigorous academics with cultural diversity, practical skills, and professional connections. If you choose a place like VU Business School in Vilnius, you’ll be studying in an innovative city at the crossroads of Eastern and Western Europe - where your education extends far beyond the classroom.

Verslumo skatinimo fondas

Verslumo skatinimo fondas

VU VM Verslumo skatinimo fondas 

Verslumo skatinimo fondas veiks atvirų kvietimų teikti paraiškas principu. VU Verslo mokykla periodiškai skelbs kvietimus, kurių metu bendruomenės nariai galės pateikti paraiškas dalyvio bilietams tarptautiniuose verslumo renginiuose dalyvauti. Paraiškų teikimo procesas bus paprastas ir aiškus – tereikės užpildyti numatytą formą bei aprašyti savo idėją, dalyvavimo tikslus. Kiekvieno kvietimo metu atrinksime labiausiai motyvuotas, kūrybiškas ir potencialą turinčias paraiškas, kurioms bus suteikta finansinė parama įgyvendinimui. Tai gali būti puiki proga gauti finansavimą susitikimams su užsienio investuotojais, ekspertais ir savo startuolio pristatymams užsienyje, kurie padės žengti pirmuosius žingsnius ar pagelbės prototipo kūrimui, produkto tobulinimui ar rinkos tyrimui.

Fondas – tai ne tik pinigai, bet ir bendruomenės palaikymas. VU Verslo mokykla siekia, kad dalyviai jaustųsi drąsiai dalindamiesi savo idėjomis ir augtų kartu. Planuojama, kad fondą laimėję projektai galės pasinaudoti ir mokyklos mentorystės tinklu ar ekspertais (esant galimybei), kurie padės patarimais vystant idėją. Tokiu būdu Verslumo skatinimo fondas prisidės prie verslumo kultūros puoselėjimo universitete – skatins imtis iniciatyvos, eksperimentuoti, kurti naujus sprendimus ir mokytis iš patirties.

Sekite naujienas! Informacija apie kvietimų datas ir paraiškų teikimo sąlygas bus skelbiama VU Verslo mokyklos komunikacijos kanaluose. Nepraleiskite progos – galbūt būtent Jūsų idėja sulauks Fondo palaikymo.

Verslo iššūkiai

Verslo iššūkiai

Verslo iššūkiai: kai studentų idėjos sprendžia realias verslų problemas 

Vilniaus universiteto Verslo mokykloje studentai kuria realų pokytį jau studijų metu. Apie ką mes? - VU VM studentai kasdien mokosi spręsdami realias verslo problemas. Įmonės, organizacijos ir viešojo sektoriaus atstovai dalijasi savo aktualiais iššūkiais, o studentai – prižiūrimi dėstytojų – imasi jų spręsti. Ši praktika taikoma nuo pat pirmųjų studijų metų - studentai dalyvauja iššūkiais grįstame mokyme (Challenge-Based Learning).

Kiekvieną studijų semestrą jie dirba prie naujų iššūkių, kuriuos pateikia tokie verslo partneriai kaip Swedbank, Lietuvos geležinkeliai, Ignitis grupė, Vilniaus miesto savivaldybė ir kiti. Studentų darbas – tai ne teorinė užduotis, o kūrybinis, verslus ir duomenimis grįstas atsakas į verslo realijas. Sprendimų kūrimo procesą lydi dėstytojai, o nuo šiol – ir „Entrepreneurship Clinic“ mentoriai, kurie padeda pritaikyti studijų metu įgytas žinias praktikoje, ieškoti naujų verslo krypčių ir suprasti rinkos logiką.

Kokių temų iššūkius sprendžia mūsų studentai? 

• Finansų ir ekonomikos
• Tvarios plėtros strategijos 
  
• Įėjimas į užsienio rinkas 
  
• Klientų patirties gerinimas 
  
• Inovatyvios paslaugos idėjos 
  
• Verslo modelių transformacija

Verslo iššūkių partneriais jau tapo tokios organizacijos kaip UAB „Moody‘s Lithuania“, UAB „Cognizant Lithuania“, UAB „Orbio World“, Fresh Post, CargoGO Logistics, Odore d‘amore, „Šypsenos akademija“, UAB „Draudimo inovacijos“, VŠĮ „Keliautojų nameliai“, UADBB „Marsh Lietuva“, UADBB „Rinkos Insurance Solutions“, ADB „Compensa Vienna Insurance Group“ ir UAB Ozantis.

Norite tapti mūsų partneriu ir pasiūlyti savo įmonės iššūkį studentams?
