Master's degrees in Lithuania

Master's admissions work differently from bachelor's: what counts here is not your school grades but your bachelor's degree and how well your field aligns.

The difference

How it differs from bachelor's

Assessment rests largely on your bachelor's degree, your transcript and how closely your field matches the programme. For applications outside your field, some schools ask for bridging courses.

Programme length and credit load vary by school. Some are thesis-heavy, others project and practice-led — the two open different doors afterwards.

The application window is usually shorter than for bachelor's, but translating, certifying and checking recognition of your diploma takes time, so starting early still matters.

Admissions

What admissions look at

  • 1Your bachelor's field

    Alignment between your degree and the programme is the most decisive item. If you're applying outside your field, we work out which programmes are open.

  • 2Transcript and average

    Your average and the content of the courses you took both feed into the assessment.

  • 3English certificate

    The level required at master's is usually higher than at bachelor's; plan the exam early.

  • 4Motivation and references

    Many programmes want a motivation letter, some a reference. We prepare those together.
