Mykolas Romeris University

Why this works

• Public university status means an EU-accredited diploma — not a private institution credential — at bachelor tuition from €3,250/year.
• Lithuania is a full EU and Schengen member: graduates access the entire EU labour market and can travel visa-free within Schengen.
• IELTS 5.5 minimum for master's entry; bachelor requires only IELTS 4.5–5.0, and a free internal English test replaces IELTS entirely.
• On-campus dormitory guaranteed for the first 100 admitted international students; rooms start at €110/month in Vilnius.
• Vilnius total living costs run €400–600/month — significantly cheaper than Western European or Scandinavian university cities.
• Non-EU students can work 20 h/week during bachelor studies and full-time during holidays with no separate work permit needed.

What to check

• Single September intake only: missing the June 1 non-EU deadline means waiting a full year for the next admission cycle.
• Post-study work visa terms in Lithuania are not yet verified — EU residency rights after graduation require independent confirmation.
• Master's programme portfolio is law-heavy (5 of 17 programmes); students targeting engineering or natural sciences will find limited options.
• MRU's international brand recognition is modest outside the Baltics and LatAm circuits — employers in CIS or Gulf markets may not know the name.
• Scholarship availability is unconfirmed — budget planning must assume full tuition cost without aid.
