Study in Vilnius

Beautiful architecture

Vilnius contains many scenic places and the city's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Entertainment and culture

With museums, theatres, shopping centres, cafes, clubs and bars to enjoy, Vilnius is one of the most visited cities in Eastern Europe.

Vilnius does indeed have fairly low costs of living, especially compared to other European capitals and tuition fees are fairly reasonable.

Numbeo estimates a single person living in Vilnius would need approximately £460 per month for general living expenses, plus an additional £450 for rent for a one bedroom apartment in the city centre. Tuition fees in the city's universities will cost international students approximately US$2,800.

Vilnius is famed for its baroque and gothic architecture, which is especially noticeable in the medieval Old Town, one of the largest of its kind Europe (as well as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), which is ideal for exploring during your spare time and taking in some of the history.

One of the Old Town’s main streets, Pilies Street, is among the most active and picturesque streets in the city, full of little shops, cafés, restaurants and interesting architecture, including the historically significant House of the Signatories, where the Act of Independence of Lithuania was signed in 1918.

Vilnius was the European Capital of Culture in 2009 alongside the Austrian city of Linz, and hosts a number of popular cultural events throughout the year, such as the Vilnius International Film Festival, Capital Days (performing arts festival) and the Vilnius Jazz Festival. Also, Vilnius University’s Faculty of Physics hosts the unique FiDi Physicist’s Day, actually one of the most outlandish days in the calendar, which features a giant mechanical dinosaur in its procession.

Vilnius ranks 107th for employer activity this year. Employers in Vilnius are always on the lookout for skilled, talented graduates to recruit. The city is home to many multinational Fortune 500 companies, such as Nasdaq, Western Union, McKesson and Uber.
