V. A. Graiciunas School of Management

The AVMV (Avanti-Graiciūno Aukštojo Vadobos Mokyklo) – Academic Center for Management Studies – is Lithuania’s oldest and most prominent business education institution, established in 1993. Located in Kaunas, a city with a historical significance as a center of commerce and industry, the school boasts a long-standing commitment to fostering professional leadership capabilities within Lithuania and beyond. The institution has evolved from its initial focus on core academic disciplines into a comprehensive, multidisciplinary education program emphasizing practical skills development and real-world application.

AVMV’s strength lies in its strategic location within the Baltic region.

The school is currently operating under a private funding model, representing a commitment to maintaining its mission as an independent institution dedicated to intellectual growth. AVMV prioritizes student engagement and provides ample opportunities for professional development through internships, networking events, and collaboration with local businesses. A significant proportion of the students are admitted via a competitive admission process which is particularly noteworthy given the school’s location and geographical limitations.
