🇱🇹 Study in Lithuania from Ireland

Our database has 83 English-taught programmes in Lithuania: 12 health and veterinary programmes and 71 other bachelors. Most are in Kaunas and Vilnius. Published tuition runs from EUR 3,250 per year for many business and social science degrees to EUR 15,000 per year for dentistry at Vilnius University. Vilnius University and Vytautas Magnus University publish a Leaving Certificate rule. Several universities already list 2027 deadlines, mostly in June and July 2027.

How an Irish student gets in

Leaving Certificate rules published.

• Vilnius University (VU): minimum six subjects passed. For qualifications awarded after 2017: two subjects at grade 5 or higher at Higher level, and the rest at least 6 at Ordinary level or 7 at Higher level. For qualifications awarded before 2017: two subjects at D1 or higher at Higher level, and the rest at least D3 at Ordinary or E at Higher (wording as published). Provisional certificates are accepted only for current graduates. This applies to the bachelor and integrated programmes, including medicine, dentistry and nursing.
• Vytautas Magnus University (VMU): the same six-subject rule as VU, plus a minimum 60% CGPA on the transcript.
• Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH): at least 60% of the maximum possible result in mathematics, physics or another science or a social science subject, and English. Provisional certificates are accepted only for current graduates.
• Lithuanian Sports University (LSU), physiotherapy: an overall transcript average of at least 65% with no subject below 60%. LSU does not convert grades, and publishes no Leaving Cert conversion.
• Mykolas Romeris University (MRU): publishes a rule, but the wording is hard to read as published: for results before 2017 "2HP and O6/H7", for results after 2017 "2 HD1 and 4 OD3/HE". Confirm with the university.

For the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU), Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Klaipeda University, ISM and LCC, we found no published Leaving Cert grade rule. Check each university's Ireland or admissions page, linked in Sources.

The entrance test is a motivational interview plus a 90-minute online multiple-choice test (30 Biology and 30 Chemistry questions). The test window is 12 January to 15 July 2027. Exemptions listed include A-levels C and C in Biology and Chemistry, IB 5 at Higher level, UCAT 2100, MCAT 511, IMAT 57, NEET 650, Abitur and French Baccalaureat; the Leaving Cert is not named.

Other bachelors. KTU ranks applicants by weighted school-leaving exam results, plus an online mathematics exam for informatics and AI. ISM interviews online and sets a mathematics test if you have no state mathematics exam. VILNIUS TECH needs no bachelor interview. LCC interviews online (30% of the admission score).

English proof. VU asks for IELTS Academic 6.5, TOEFL iBT 81 or another B2 certificate, and exempts those whose previous studies were in English. LSMU asks for a certificate or its own English test; two LSMU pages give different minimums (TOEFL iBT 4.0 and B1 on the programme page, TOEFL iBT 65 and B2 on the admission page). KTU asks for IELTS 5.5, TOEFL 75 or B2, and needs no test if your studies were fully in English. KTU, MRU, Klaipeda and LCC do not name a Leaving Cert English exemption.

Documents. LSMU asks for an apostille for Hague Convention countries. KTU says apostille is not required for EU-issued documents and asks for a police clearance certificate from any country you lived in for more than 6 months.
