Agne Ziniauskaite: Procurement programme is very flexible and practical
Agne Ziniauskaite chose to study procurement because she has been working in pre-clinical and pharmaceutical fields where it played an important part. She wanted to understand procurement more deeply through structured university level studies. Agne saw the master´s degree as an opportunity to expand her professional profile and support to her long-term career goals.
”Studies conducted fully online were a big plus and allowed me to balance studies with work and personal life. What I really appreciated was how practical the assignments were. They were tailored for the professional environment, what made the learning experience to feel relevant and applicable. Therefore, I now see procurement not just as a support function of buying materials or services but its connection to strategy, sustainability, risk management, and overall business performance.
I absolutely recommend the degree programme to others because it is flexible and practical and provides a great way to deepen your knowledge and grow your confidence, especially if you're already working in procurement or interested in the field and want to take the next step professionally.
My advice to someone who is hesitant to start studying: “Don’t worry if you are not an expert yet, because the Procurement master´s degree programme at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences is designed to support your learning step by step.”
