## About

Kaunas feels like a city built for engineers—wide streets, clear plan, a Bauhaus vibe underneath the Soviet overlay. Student life orbits affordable bars, the riverside Santaka Park, and cheap restaurants serving Lithuanian and international food. Rent is €80–120/month for a shared flat.

- Social-sciences BA starts at €3,250/year and IT/business BA at €4,201/year — significantly cheaper than comparable Polish or Czech programmes.
- Low English bar: IELTS 5.5 accepted, making entry realistic without extensive test preparation.

- Automatic merit-based scholarship review for every applicant — no separate scholarship application required.
- Kaunas is Lithuania's second city with a large student population, lower living costs than Vilnius, and an estimated €400–600/month budget.

## Watch out for

- Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM)/engineering bachelor tuition rises to €5,676/year — noticeably above the IT/business tier advertised as entry price.
- Non-EU application deadline is 01 June 2026 — earlier than most Lithuanian universities, leaving little time for late applicants.
- Scholarship amounts and waiver conditions are not publicly listed; students cannot budget for them in advance.
- Kaunas is a mid-size regional city: limited English-language job market makes part-time work during studies harder to find.
