PhD Studies in English Atnaujinta: 2011-09-02 10:43:14

Vytautas Magnus University has a distinct advantage in its ability to involve young promising doctoral students into various academic research and study activities, prepare scientists who are capable of carrying out independent scientific research and experimental (social, cultural) development and solve hot-topic issues of Lithuanian, European and global science. The doctoral students at the university are provided favourable conditions for studying, improving theoretical and methodological knowledge of a particular scientific field in various seminars and doctoral schools, conducting independent research, participating in international scientific projects or scholarship programmes abroad, giving lectures and seminars at VMU and its partner universities.

The PhD studies at Vytautas Magnus University have been launched 4 years after its re-establishment in 1989. During the first 16 years, the university has helped propel almost 400 young and promising PhD graduates into successful scientific careers in Lithuania and abroad. Doctoral studies in 17 scientific fields were offered at the university. 

Currently, VMU has been granted permission to provide PhD studies in 18 scientific fields: Biochemistry, Biology, Biophysics, Ecology and Environmental Studies, Economics, Educology, Ethnology, History, Informatics, Law, Management and Administration, Philology, Philosophy, Political Sciences, Psychology, Sociology, Study of Arts and Theology.
