Economics and Entrepreneurship Exam: VMU FEM to Provide Free Preparation Support for Lithuanian Students
Vytautas Magnus University has been organizing free preparatory courses for various state matriculation exams for several years. This year, the VMU Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM) joins the initiative by offering, for the first time in Lithuania, a specially designed program for the Economics and Entrepreneurship state exam.
As the popularity of this exam continues to grow among 11th and 12th grade students, the FEM team has developed a focused, structured, and practice-based preparation cycle. The courses will be completely free of charge and are planned to be delivered in a hybrid format — with some sessions held in person and others online — allowing a wider group of students to benefit from the initiative.
The consultations, taking place in March and April, will be led by VMU FEM experts in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and finance. The program content has been prepared based on previous years’ exam tasks and consultations with teachers, aiming to help students prepare systematically, purposefully, and confidently.
Experts and Their Topics
The VMU Faculty of Economics and Management experts supporting students combine both academic and practical experience. Macroeconomics sessions will be led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Jonė Kalendienė, a macroeconomics expert and Chief Economist at ILTE. Microeconomics preparation will be conducted by Dr. Monika Didžgalvytė-Bujauskė, Head of Bachelor Studies at VMU FEM and a specialist in microeconomics. Finance sessions will be delivered by Dr. Gintarė Leckė, who specializes in finance and applied financial decision-making.
