The curriculum includes a diverse range of course units that are designed to help students to develop their language skills, including the advanced writing, speaking and research skills needed to become successful. The students will also acquire a range of soft skills by cultivating their analytical and critical thinking, problem-solving and rhetorical abilities, while gaining a knowledge of culture and history, which will allow them to understand the complex modern world of today.

"Vilnius University itself is one of the oldest universities in Eastern Europe. It also happened historically that, like the friendly and multinational Vilnius itself, Vilnius University is the center of education not only for Lithuania, but also for its closest neighbor countries. No matter how pretentious it may sound, for me this is a place of power for my people too (Belarusians).
And I was very pleasantly surprised by such an opportunity as studying the German Philology program in English and/or Russian. Moreover, the program starts for those who do not know the German language, and for those who already know it. During the first two years of learning the language from “zero”, I have already studied both the required grammar, syntax, morphology, phonetics and other language specific material, and specialized subjects of our choice (language history, literature, culture and politics of German-speaking countries). You will not be left without the attention of professors and lecturers who value both constant participation in learning the language according to the planned program, and an individual approach to completing tasks and mastering knowledge. I will not fail to note that while studying at the Faculty of Philology, you also will have the opportunity to choose a second foreign language for study (a bit of a help if you cannot decide between German and a second foreign language)."
