“In our first year, after each lecture, we would stand up and applaud the professors for their lectures, for what they had given us. And it was truly well-deserved—SMK gave me the opportunity to go places I wouldn’t have dared to go on my own. For example, I had the chance to host an event on the stage at Žalgiris Arena. I could only have dreamed of that before, and I achieved all of this thanks to SMK.”

“Studying what I love and working in the same field at the same time—that’s my goal. I’m glad that I can apply the theoretical knowledge I’ve gained at SMK in practice and, in this way, discover my strengths, which I use purposefully. I’m incredibly happy that while studying, I also started my career at the “Music Talent League” as a host. It’s great that SMK collaborates with such well-known projects, which gladly invite students to test their skills. Studying in an environment that inspires is truly GREAT. Step into the shoes of a creator and you’ll see just how much you can accomplish here!”

“Our courses are taught by experts in their respective fields! SMK College offers structured and up-to-date curricula that reflect current trends. Qualified instructors possess both theoretical and practical knowledge, helping students acquire the necessary skills. SMK provides students with ample hands-on experience not only during lectures but also through various projects. This is crucial for familiarizing oneself with the real-world challenges of the professional field and for gaining practical skills. SMK offers the opportunity to get involved in community activities, get to know peers and instructors, build networks, and collaborate with other students. Through the Erasmus+ program, I went to study in Taiwan. It was an unforgettable adventure, made possible by SMK opening up these opportunities.”

International Business and Communication

While studying at SMK, I cherished every day I spent there, and I continue to successfully apply the academic and practical knowledge I gained in class to this day. After graduating, I received a heartfelt invitation from SMK—first to work on communication projects, and later to teach. Today, I strive to convey to my students the same feeling I once experienced myself: learning can be inspiring and meaningful when every day brings new experiences.

“When I found out that the program would include a lot of hands-on training and be taught by professionals—well-known and successful people—I had no doubt that I wanted to study at SMK! I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like learning in a traditional format, so I never would have dreamed that I’d go to lectures every day with a smile on my face! For that, I’m grateful to the entire SMK community. If you love creating, generating ideas, and then getting the chance to turn them into reality, I recommend choosing the Creative and Entertainment Industries program! The administration and faculty always spot talented people and involve them in various activities and projects. I’ve seen this for myself, having organized more than one event at SMK. There are many opportunities here, and it doesn’t matter whether you have experience or gain it during your studies—SMK will always help you discover your talent and show it to the world!”

“SMK has become my second home. The SMK community is something special. Here, you grow and develop, and you receive support from your classmates, instructors, and the administration. Here, you can feel at ease, gain the knowledge you need, and at the same time get to know the professor, their field, and their way of life. At SMK, you can meet students from abroad, hear their stories, learn about their way of life, and discover their culture.”

Since I studied at SMK myself, this place brings back many fond memories for me. It’s nice to return to SMK as a staff member, because this institution feels like a second home to me. It is precisely these memories that create that feeling. I remember the lectures and the lessons taught by the instructors very well. Since I currently work at SMK myself, these lessons remain valuable to this day—not only the techniques and methods I learned, but also the words that were spoken.

“From the very beginning of my first year, I was impressed by the SMK faculty. I believe that nowhere else can you find such wonderful and understanding experts who not only know how to teach and explain their subject, but also share their personal experiences and become true friends who are always willing to lend a helping hand to students.”

Visual Design

“While studying at SMK, I truly discovered my creative, self-confidence, and leadership superpowers, which continue to help me in my personal and professional life. SMK encourages and nurtures its students’ creativity simply by listening to their ideas and opinions. Everyone has the opportunity to voice and implement their ideas. Here, students can freely express their thoughts and, by bringing others together, create a creative and productive space through collective effort for any projects they initiate on their own or in collaboration with others.”

Marketing and Advertising

“While studying at SMK, I discovered my strengths. I learned to express my thoughts clearly and to have more confidence in myself. These superpowers come in especially handy when I have to present even my wildest ideas. I’ve learned to think critically and never stop moving forward, because every new day at SMK is another new opportunity.”

Digital communication

“Creativity is an integral part of everyday life at SMK. It is one of the college’s most important characteristics, as the promotion of creativity begins during lectures, when instructors assign tasks that encourage students to express themselves creatively. In my opinion, what makes this college unique and adds value is the sincerity, positivity, and kindness shown by the staff, which creates an undeniably pleasant atmosphere that invites you to return and spend time here.”

Programming and Multimedia

“During my studies, I gained a solid foundation in marketing and had the opportunity to see what the work of a marketing specialist entails. The knowledge and experience I acquired helped me establish myself in my professional career. I particularly appreciate the fact that during my studies at SMK, lectures were taught by instructors with real-world work experience in their fields. The instructors shared practical examples and real-life situations that helped me better understand and master the subject matter. I am happy with where I am now, and although the path wasn’t easy, I can confirm that the fruits of learning at SMK are sweet!”

Marketing and Advertising

“The connections I made at SMK helped me develop my first startup, participate in the VU Tech Hub pre-accelerator, and build relationships with the founders of other startups. Students can discover many opportunities here—from finding a mentor to gaining experience through events or organizing various projects. You just need to show initiative and make the most of your studies.”

International Business

“While studying Business Management and Development at SMK, I received a lot of support, which encouraged me to embark on the Erasmus+ adventure. At VERN University in Croatia, I was the first student with a visual impairment, so there were plenty of challenges, but the flexibility of the faculty and the genuine friendship of my classmates showed me that different experiences can become a strength. This experience taught me that true leadership lies not in the ability to see, but in the ability to feel and be there for others.” Dovydas Girdžiūnas, third-year student in Business Creation and Management at SMK

SMK’s international community has helped me become more social and build meaningful connections with people from around the world. It has also motivated me in my studies, as SMK offers a great balance between academic life and enjoyable student experiences. Living in Lithuania makes this experience even better — it is more affordable than many other European countries, and the cities are highly walkable, bike-friendly, and there are many beautiful natural spaces.

At SMK, professors inspire me to think outside the box through innovative, hands-on projects. The supportive and dynamic learning environment makes studying here both comfortable and motivating. I would highly recommend SMK because of its strong international community, which encourages new perspectives and global thinking.
