Lithuania offers high-quality studies with globally recognized degrees – surrounded by a unique culture that cherishes traditions

With its colorful history and its important geographic location, Lithuania is the bustling connecting hub between Western and Eastern Europe. The small nation with a population of just about 2.8 million has been an EU member since 2004 and, in 2015, adopted the Euro as its official currency. Over the past two decades, Lithuania’s education system has seen exciting reforms. Today, there are hundreds of interesting English-taught study options available to international students.

Transportation
Lithuania is located in Northern Europe, in the southeast of the Baltic Sea. Lithuania shares borders with Estonia, Latvia, Poland and Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave. There are four commercial airports in Lithuania, of which Vilnius Airport – in the country’s capital – is the largest with over 30 international flight destinations.
Job market for graduates
Lithuania is a modern economy with a global mindset, and a lot of international companies have offices in the country. But even though English proficiency is reasonably high, especially among younger people, speaking Lithuanian may still be the biggest hurdle for foreigners seeking employment. If you consider staying after graduation, your best bet is to take a Lithuanian language course early on so that you can improve your odds competing with local job applicants.
