Admission to Degree Studies

We are writing to inform you about scholarship opportunities, which include tuition fee waivers for the entire study period of full-time Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs taught in English.

The scholarship application procedure is detailed step-by-step via this link under the section “SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION PROCEDURE” (https://www.vdu.lt/en/studies/scholarships/ -> For Prospective VMU students -> Scholarship application procedure).

The deadline for scholarship applications is July 30.

Priority will be given to students with higher than C1 English language proficiency, higher GPAs, and those with results from scientific or artistic production or other scholarly activities, as the number of scholarships is limited.
