Labour Shortages Favour Graduates
Lithuania's own labour shortages mean employers are actively hiring and sponsoring non-EU graduates after study.
Low Tuition, Low Cost of Living
English-taught programs typically run €2,500-4,500/year, with a noticeably lower cost of living than Western Europe.
EU/Schengen Access
A Lithuanian student visa gives access to travel across the Schengen Area during your studies.
