Economics (LT)

Economics is not just numbers or charts. It’s the art of understanding why prices rise, why some businesses take off while others collapse, and how today’s decisions shape life tomorrow. Economics Undergraduate Studies at the VMU Faculty of Economics and Management (VMU FEM) are for those who want to see a little deeper than the headlines.

Economics: what does an economics professional look like?

  • Looks not only at “how much it costs,” but also “why it costs what it costs.”
  • Can analyze data, draw conclusions, and support them with arguments—not gut feeling.
  • Understands how national, municipal, and business budgets work: taxes, investments, public spending.
  • Views topics like inflation, crises, wage growth, or the housing market through an economic lens, not only an emotional one.
  • Can connect economic theory with real life in business and the public sector.
  • Uses terms like GDP, inflation, productivity, budget deficit, return on investment naturally—and understands what’s behind them.
  • Has strong critical thinking: advertising, political promises, or “hot” market trends are judged with a cool head.

A VMU FEM economics graduate can speak about economics with solid arguments—not just repeat someone else’s opinion.
