Today we have an interview with a first year Master degree student Maja Mišovic from Serbia who studies Journalism and Media Analysis in the Faculty of Political Sciences and Diplomacy. Let's hear her story of life in Lithuania and Vytautas Magnus University.
Hello, Maja, could you tell us a little bit about yourself?
It is my pleasure to introduce myself. I am one of those rare people, who came to study in Lithuania from Balkans, Serbia. My decision to come to Vytautas Magnus University was based on my dream to specialise in the field of media. Even though I have graduated Bachelor in Journalism and I am aware that this profession is pretty stressful also not so well-payed I am still eager to become an objective journalist providing accurate information.
Despite writing and journalism, my third passion are languages. That is why I hope that one day I will manage to speak fluently Lithuanian. For now I speak English and Spanish. I can communicate in German on a basic level as well.

Could you tell us your story of deciding to study in Lithuania, VMU?
If somebody would have told me last year that I will be a VMU student, I wouldn’t believe it! I wished to study abroad from my first years of Bachelor studies. Unfortunately, Erasmus program is not yet developed in Serbia. Because of that I decided to take Master studies abroad.
Required conditions for applying at VMU were just perfect for me! I had enough time by 10th July to graduate, to pass TOEFL exam and to pack my suitcase. My friends and family were astonished because of my decision. Unfortunately, people in Serbia don't know almost anything about Lithuania, except that basketball is the second religion. I didn't know even that! I wanted to discover it by myself and by now I am enjoying it very much!
