Admissions
The institution assesses the Uzbek qualification and may require formal academic recognition. An 11-year school certificate can lead to a foundation requirement or additional-study condition. Master's applicants need a recognised relevant bachelor's degree.
These are general country-level requirements. Exact academic and English-language requirements are shown on the individual program page.
Tuition costs
Tuition varies by university and program. Use these figures as a guide and check the individual program page for the latest fee.
Scholarships
Review Study in Lithuania state-scholarship calls, bilateral awards and university tuition discounts. Eligibility changes by nationality, degree level and field, and many calls close before admission is final.
Application preparation
Check whether each document is needed for admission, visa, or only in specific cases. Translation and legalisation requirements can vary.
Valid passport - admission and visa or residence application
Academic certificate and transcript - original plus certified translation where required
Language certificate - English or local-language evidence when required
Application process

9-12 months before
Step 1
Compare entry requirements, tuition, location and career fit.
6-9 months before
Step 2
Arrange academic records, certified translations and language evidence.
Visa from Uzbekistan
Uzbek citizens need the appropriate national visa or temporary residence permit for long-term study. The application uses the institution's mediation letter and requires finances, insurance, accommodation and identity records.
SAMI will confirm the exact requirements for your personal circumstances before submission.
Financial evidence
Show sufficient monthly resources and return-travel funds at the amount current under Lithuanian migration rules. Bank statements, scholarship documents or sponsor evidence may be used, subject to the application's document list.
Work and post-study opportunities
The work must not undermine study progress. Confirm whether the 20-hour limit applies to the specific degree level and residence status before signing a contract.
After completing studies, graduates may apply for a temporary residence permit for up to 12 months to search for employment or pursue self-employment.
Student life
Dormitories are often the lowest-cost option; shared flats and private rentals are also available. Immigration-compliant health insurance is required, and students should confirm how local healthcare payments and registration work.
Climate and packing
Lithuania has a cool continental-Baltic climate with cold winters, mild to warm summers and changeable spring and autumn weather. Snow and short winter daylight are normal.
