When choosing a master’s program, the determining factor for me was the educational experience, which I didn’t have before. In particular, I wanted to try myself as a student at a high level European university and gain new knowledge in law.
It is not enough to say that the Legal Regulation of Public Administration and Human Rights program met my expectations. I got more than I wanted: new and unique knowledge of the organization and functioning of public administration in the European Union and protection of fundamental human rights, interesting acquaintances with professors and students from Lithuania and other countries, trips to the most beautiful places in Lithuania and interactive events organized by the student organization.
Furthermore, the administration of Mykolas Romeris University was very friendly and always helped in any matters. The communication with university representatives was prompt and convenient, so there was never a feeling that the student was abandoned, but on the contrary – the perception of being surrounded by colleagues who will always lend a hand.
Particular attention should be paid to university facilities, including modern classrooms and library with a variety of scientific literature and access to all necessary electronic databases. Such conditions are the key to conducting outstanding scientific research and writing high-quality scientific works.
At the same time, the attention of many students was attracted by the opportunity to study in another country under Erasmus+ studies. For instance, I took this opportunity and went for a semester to study in the Czech Republic at the Masaryk University. Upon my return, I realized that this experience allows students to broaden their horizons and fill their youth with vivid emotions and useful activities.
Moreover, I am very grateful to the teaching staff of Mykolas Romeris University, in particular to professor Agnė Tvaronavičienė for the support in participating in mediation tournaments. I noticed that after the year of such activity I qualitatively improved my communication skills and learned how to negotiate and settle various types of disputes.
In conclusion, I want to state that participating in the Legal Regulation of Public Administration and Human Rights program has provided me with many new skills and knowledge that will be an advantage in finding a job and increase my level of competence among colleagues in the legal field.
This program is a great educational opportunity for motivated and law-abiding students. Everyone will find it beneficial for their future career. And also, it presents a possibility to find new friends with whom a lot of bright events will be associated.

Participation in this program was my first experience of studying abroad and, fortunately, it was successful. I had an opportunity to study in two different universities in two different countries at the same time. Moreover, during my study in MRU, I had an opportunity to go for Erasmus studies at the University of Vienna and Erasmus traineeship in Poland. If you want to gain the experience studying abroad, gain valuable knowledge for future career and find job abroad, this program is for you.
In addition to strong international relations, MRU is famous for developed non-educational activities. There are different language courses, dance club, theater studio, gym club, volleyball, football, basketball classes, fitness, yoga. I participated in bachata and salsa dance club, attended gym and visited language courses. All these activities are free and are open for new students.
Besides, MRU has equipped for educational purposes classrooms, modern library with variety of databases and convenient dormitories, closely located to the university.
MRU encourages students to participate in various international tournaments. I was very happy to become a part of MRU Mediation Team and participate in tournaments in the USA, Singapore and Georgia.
For me as Ukrainian citizen, participation in Legal Regulation of Public Administration and Human Rights program was a great opportunity to receive diploma of European Union university, at the law school that is one of the top 250 in the world. Subjects are taught by leading European professors, including judges of Lithuanian and international courts. These advantages in total provide a high level of obtained knowledge and as a consequence a possibility to work abroad in the future.
I am glad to be a participant of this master program, meet new people and take part in different educational and leisure activities.
