About

Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) is one of the few universities in the region to embrace a true liberal arts education model. Here, you don’t just follow a fixed path—you design your own. By combining majors and minors across disciplines, you get the freedom to explore different fields, think creatively, and build a profile that is uniquely yours.

VMU is also one of Lithuania’s most international universities, with students from more than 80 countries and a wide network of partner institutions worldwide. Over 30% of degree programs are taught in English, making it easy to dive into courses across a variety of fields. Thanks to strong connections—like the Transform4Europe alliance—you’ll also find plenty of opportunities for exchanges, projects, and international collaboration.

Beyond the classroom, VMU blends modern facilities with hands-on learning. From internships to research labs, from community engagement to cultural initiatives, your studies will always connect with the real world. It’s a well-established university that manages to feel both global and personal—big enough to open doors everywhere, yet close-knit enough to make you feel at home.
