Practical Approach to International Business
As an International Business student at SMK University of Applied Sciences, I am really satisfied with the curriculum. The courses are highly practical and focused on real-world business scenarios rather than just theory. The professors have solid industry experience and are always ready to support students. The multicultural environment on campus helps a lot in understanding global business dynamics. I would definitely recommend SMK to anyone looking for a career-oriented education.

About SMK college of applied sciences
I had a good experience at SMK college of applied sciences in Vilnius. The environment is friendly, and it is a good place for international students. The classes are practical, and the university is modern.
However, the tuition fee is quite high, and there are not enough teachers in some faculties. I think the university should improve the academic support and hire more lecturers. Another thing is that from here the students need to find their own internship by themselves. And I think they should also look about these internships.
Overall, SMK is still a good college with some areas to improve.
The Global Student Satisfaction Awards empower students across the globe to determine the best universities of 2025. Universities with a score above 4.0 (out of 5) in any of the 7 award categories, receive Badges of Excellence. Congratulations!
