KAUKO

Why this works

• Public university status means EU-accredited diploma recognised across the European Union and Schengen zone.
• Tuition of €3,100 per year is among the lowest for English-taught engineering and business programmes in the EU.
• IELTS 5.5 minimum is accessible for most CIS graduates without additional language preparation.
• Lithuania is an EU/Schengen member — graduates can apply for post-study work rights and eventually long-term EU residency.
• Students on a Temporary Residence Permit can work up to 20 hours per week during term and full-time during holidays with no separate work permit.
• Kaunas private housing runs €250–400 per month, making total living costs significantly lower than Western European student cities.

What to check

• Website has been inaccessible since June 2026 due to an SSL error — specific program details, deadlines, and scholarship info could not be verified.
• No confirmed scholarship or tuition-discount data is available; students should budget the full €3,100 without expecting grants.
• Dormitory availability at KAUKO is unknown — students may need to secure private housing independently before arrival.
• KAUKO is a university of applied sciences (kolegija type), which may carry lower brand recognition than classical research universities when seeking employment outside Lithuania.
• Kaunas is a mid-size city with a smaller international job market; students targeting multinational careers may need to relocate after graduation.
