Study in Lithuania

Where is Lithuania

Lithuania is a country in the Baltic region of Europe with a rich and fascinating history. It was first mentioned in written records in 1009 AD and became a powerful European state during the Middle Ages. In the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was one of the largest countries in Europe, stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea.

In 1569, Lithuania united with Poland to form the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, a major European power at the time. However, over the next few centuries, the country faced numerous conflicts and was eventually absorbed into the Russian Empire in the late 18th century.

Lithuania declared independence in 1918 after World War I but was occupied by the Soviet Union during World War II. After decades under Soviet control, Lithuania became the first country to declare independence from the USSR on March 11, 1990.

Today, Lithuania is a modern, democratic country and a member of the European Union (EU) and NATO. Its capital, Vilnius, is known for its historical architecture, vibrant culture, and as a growing hub for international students.

Why Choose Lithuania for Studying Abroad?

Lithuania is becoming an increasingly popular destination for international students—and for good reason. Here are some of the top reasons why students choose Lithuania for their higher education:

As an EU and Schengen member, studying in Lithuania allows students to travel freely across 26 European countries—a great opportunity for exploration and networking.
