Why students choose Lithuania

Vilnius and Kaunas offer distinct institution choices and links to technology and engineering.

Published entry-level fees can be relatively accessible, but a minimum fee says little about the price of a specific course.

English-taught degrees can be paired with language learning to improve local integration and work options.

What these tuition figures coverThe national-level guide gives starting annual fees of EUR 1,300 for a bachelor's degree and EUR 2,300 for a master's degree. These are lower-bound references, not the average international fee or a complete range. Fees vary by programme, and no verified national 2026 international UG/PG mean is available from these sources.
Typical living reference / month · EUR €500–€800 Housing and daily expenses depend on the city and your choices.

A national-level guide updated in March 2026 estimates EUR 500–800 monthly for accommodation, food, materials, transport and personal spending. Private housing in larger cities can change the total.
