They will finish the first and second years at Panevys College and the third year at Stralsund University (under the ERASMUS program). Course IV is devoted to practical instruction and the creation of the final thesis, which will be supervised by the professor team from Stralsund University.
Focus on practice: The program’s curriculum has been revised to reflect that of the 20-year-old International Management Studies in the Baltic Sea Region study program at Stralsund University.
