STUDY IN LITHUANIA
With its colorful history and its important geographic location, Lithuania is the bustling connecting hub
between Western and Eastern Europe. The small nation with a population of just about 2.8 million has
been an EU member since 2004 and, in 2015, adopted the Euro as its official currency. Over the past two
decades, Lithuania’s education system has seen exciting reforms. Today, there are hundreds of
interesting English-taught study options available to international students.

Facts and figures on Lithuanian higher education


There are more than 30 institutions of higher education in Lithuania. Similar to countries like Germany,
the Netherlands, or Finland, the system distinguishes between universities and university colleges
(kolegija), often also called “universities of applied sciences”.

Through the Bologna process, Lithuanian universities have adopted a Bachelor / Master structure for its
academic programmes. The awarded degrees are recognised throughout Europe and globally.

Tuition fees
For EU citizens, tuition fees in Lithuania typically range from 1,000 to 5,000 EUR per year for a Bachelor's
degree and 2,000 to 6,000 EUR per year for a Master's degree, while doctorate programmes come in at
a higher range of 7,000 to 8,000 EUR annually. Students from outside the EU may be subject to different
tuition fees, depending on the university and programme. If you study at a university in Lithuania, you
may be eligible for a state scholarship to cover the tuition fees. Tuition fees do not apply to students on
exchange programmes.

Cost of living
One striking advantage for those who choose to study in Lithuania is the remarkably low cost of living.
Student accommodation can be had for as little as 100 EUR per month. All in all, including food, books
and leisure activities, students can easily get by on a budget of 500 EUR per month or less.

Job market for graduates


Lithuania is a modern economy with a an global mindset, and a lot of international companies have
offices in the country. But even though English proficiency is reasonably high, especially among younger
people, speaking Lithuanian may still be the biggest hurdle for foreigners seeking employment. If you
consider staying after graduation, your best bet is to take a Lithuanian language course early on so that
you can improve your odds competing with local job applicants.
