## About

Kaunas blends engineering sinew with genuine street art and underground music venues. Student quarters feel lived-in, not curated. A beer €1, a meal €3–5, a shared flat €80–100/month. The city moves at human scale—you walk or bike everywhere, and the people who live here aren't performing for visitors.

## Strengths

- At €2,600/year tuition is among the lowest available for international students in the EU.
- Lithuania is an EU and Schengen member — an EU-recognised diploma opens the European labour market.
- IELTS 5.5 entry bar is accessible for most CIS applicants without intensive preparation.
- Students may work up to 20 hours per week during term — no separate work permit needed.
- Kaunas is a safe, mid-size university city with lower living costs than Western European capitals.
- Accredited by SKVC since 2007 — the Professional Bachelor degree carries official Lithuanian state recognition.

## Watch out for

- Programmes are Lithuanian-taught — English-medium delivery for international students is unconfirmed.
- No dormitory: students must find and fund private housing in Kaunas independently.
- Only two programmes offered — students outside business or social-sciences fields have no options here.
- Very small institution with limited track record in international recruitment; brand recognition abroad is low.
- Qualification recognition is required, but the route depends on status: SKVC serves EU/EEA citizens and Lithuanian residence-permit holders, everyone else applies to the college itself — confirm the college's own procedure and timeline.
