German Philology
II year of studies

I chose to study German philology because I’m keen on learning languages. Also, I like Germany, its culture, it has a fascinating history, and, of course, the language itself. I have never once regretted entering Vilnius University. It has such a strong and friendly community, everyone is very nice and helpful. My study programme is also very interesting; teachers are always eager to help and will never refuse to explain unclear things.

Global Marketing
III year of studies

I chose my program because I had prior experience working in the marketing field, and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to pursue a deeper understanding of the subject through academic studies. One of the things I like most about my program is that it is fully taught in English. It has allowed me to interact with classmates from different countries, which has broadened my cultural perspective and exposed me to new ideas and ways of thinking.

Global Marketing
III year of studies

I decided to study marketing because it combines innovative thinking with business, and the subject matter of this degree encompassed both of those aspects. Furthermore, the course lays a strong emphasis on the many aspects of marketing, resulting in a more thorough understanding of the industry. The range of projects includes both theoretical and practical components, resulting in a more balanced approach to learning the subject matter.

Medicine
IV year of studies

My journey into the world of medicine began during my work experience in emergency medicine, where I discovered my passion for the field. However, when it came to pursuing this path in Germany, I faced considerable challenges that made it difficult to kickstart my career. Fortunately, the Medical Faculty of Vilnius University offered me an opportunity to begin my medical journey directly. I am to live in Vilnius, an awesome city for students with immense potential and growth opportunities.
If you're considering studying medicine in Vilnius, I'm here to assist you. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have about the curriculum, professors, subjects, practical knowledge, our hospital facilities, or life in Lithuania. You can contact me on Instagram via @luiiis_leon or drop me an email.

I look forward to helping you on your path to a fulfilling medical education and career.

III year of studies

I've chosen the International Business study program because I had a dream to start my own international business, so this study program seemed perfect to fulfill my ambitions. Young teachers with burning eyes, the internationality, the balance between social and exact sciences, and the wide range of opportunities to go on exchange studies are what I like most about the study program. I also like that there are plenty of opportunities to work according to the specialty in the labor market.

Light Engineering
IV year of studies

Is it worth studying at the Faculty of Physics? Perhaps the most asked question to which I can confidently answer is that it is definitely worth it, because here, not at the speed of light, but everyone can learn how everything works from submicroscopic particles to the behavior of the entire Universe. There are many challenges here that will make nothing impossible in life. And if you decide to study in the light engineering program, you will easily find a place among scientists or companies, because it is promising, and Lithuania is one of the leading countries in the field of lasers. So don’t be afraid to join us as well, as there are some of the most exciting fields of study and one of the warmest communities here.

Russian Philology
II year of studies

I have chosen the Russian Philology programme as it offers a really impressive range of compulsory and optional courses. This programme gives you a chance not only to go deeper into the world of Russian literature or to learn some peculiarities of the language but also to get general philological knowledge that can be applied in many different areas. I adore our professors’ level of professionalism, patience, and will to create a safe and cozy study environment for every student.

Dentistry
IV year of studies

Studying dentistry at VU is just perfect. Honestly, when deciding which university, I believe there should be a balance between education and life. As you assume, dentistry combines med school and working manually - that's why VU takes practice classes very seriously: We start in year 2 already, divided into small groups which ensures, that our professors have enough time for every single body. I am an international student, which means my friends are from all over the world. That makes living in the capital extra interesting. Vilnius brings a lot of opportunities, even tho my favourite activity might sound boring: sitting in one of numerous cute cafes in the old town.  
As you noticed from those few sentences, studying dentistry at VU was my best decision!

Politics of Global Challenges
II year of studies

Ever since I can remember, I have been very active. Everything seemed interesting to me, so it was difficult to choose one area in which I could realize myself. I knew only one thing - I wanted to help people. When I started looking for a study program, I don't even think about politics. Then I saw this program and felt it would be perfect for me. And indeed, the program provides a wide range of knowledge. We study from philosophy to history, as well as learn about political and social processes all over the world. The opportunity to study with international students from all over the world provides an internationally tolerant study environment. Although the program is new, it is very modern and high-quality. Everything we learn is very relevant and applicable today. The study of the politics of global challenges goes beyond the framework of theory and helps to understand the current world better.
