## About

Vilnius Tech's main campus sits north of the old town in a modern, walkable district. Student housing clusters nearby, with shared flats averaging €220–320/month. The area has canteens, libraries, and a student-focused infrastructure—it feels more like a tech campus than a historic city quarter. Vilnius overall offers good nightlife and café culture, so campus life balances with wider city exploration.

## Strengths

- EU Bologna degree from Lithuania's largest technical university, recognized across Europe via Lisbon Convention.
- IELTS 5.5 minimum is lower than most European technical universities, which typically require 6.0–6.5.
- Engineering and IT bachelor's tuition is €4,950/year — cheaper than comparable programs in Czech Republic, Poland, or Germany for non-EU students.
- Full tuition waiver available for applicants with 80%+ GPA; 50% and 25% scholarships for 70%+ GPA students.
- Vilnius living costs are €650–900/month — significantly lower than Western European capitals.
- Students can work 20 h/week during term with no separate work permit — right is included in the residence permit.

## Watch out for

- Russian and Belarusian citizens face high political risk: Lithuanian institutions are under state pressure to restrict their admission — verify current policy before applying.
- TRP processing takes up to 3 months; students who apply late after the June 15 deadline risk missing the September start date.
- Proof of €7,500/year in a Lithuanian bank account is required for the residence permit — setting up a Lithuanian account from abroad takes time.
- The scholarship deadline (April 20) is two months before the general application deadline (June 15); students who miss it lose all scholarship access regardless of merit.
- All school documents (attestat, exam results) must be apostilled and officially translated to English — for Uzbekistan, embassy legalization can take 6–8 weeks.
