You are also more than welcome to be a part of interesting events, where you will find new friends and will spend a fascinating and fun time.

Before Orientation Days join our ONLINE INFO SESSION, where university staff will introduce VMU, the upcoming Orientation Week, and guide you through the course registration process. Don’t miss this essential event to ensure a smooth start to your academic journey!

The date will be provided at the beginning of August.

Survival Lithuanian course introduces students to a very basic knowledge of Lithuanian that would help them to “survive” in Lithuania. In this intensive course, students will learn to introduce themselves, provide basic biographical information, ask for the prices while shopping, ask for directions, basic information about the university, order food, as well as other useful everyday phrases in Lithuanian.
