An exceptional feature of VMU and a value consistent with the spirit of Artes Liberales is the possibility for students of all faculties to select as many languages as they wish from a list of ~30 modern and classical languages.
This way VMU students enrich their education with multilingual competence – a unique, individually formed constellation of two-three-four or more languages – gaining a competitive advantage in the global labour market.

Why it is worth choosing minor studies?
A matter of great relevance to anyone applying for studies at a university is the question of future career prospects provided by the diploma of higher education.
VMU students improve their thinking process, participate in academic life and creative activities, and acquire vital skills by taking an internship. All of the above helps the students better understand potential ways of how to apply their newly gained theoretical knowledge in professional practice.

The traineeship opens up a wide range of opportunities, helps to self-assess studies in the context of future careers and broadens CV. Students are awarded monthly scholarships.
Do you know that if you have access to knowledge, the possibility to conduct scientific research and participate in classes or education of subsequent generations, you can influence the future of your region, country, Europe, and even the whole world? How proud it sounds!
And yet, climate change, global digitalisation, and social challenges, such as migration flows or society ageing, not to mention the pandemic reality, are processes, the effects of which we are experiencing here and now and which require immediate action, based on expert knowledge. These are the possibilities that the Transform4Europe alliance has opened for us. It will educate new generations of highly skilled European knowledge entrepreneurs.

VMU Mentor's program aims to facilitate the integration of incoming international students into the VMU community by providing them with dedicated local mentors.
