Lithuania's dedicated health sciences university — where medicine, dentistry and veterinary applications concentrate.
Kaunas · Medicine, dentistry, health sciences
The Lithuanian University of Health Sciences focuses solely on health: medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and nursing. Its English-taught programmes for international students are well established.
Competition in these fields is high and applications can close early. High school science grades feed directly into assessment, and some programmes involve an additional test or interview. This is the school to start planning for earliest.
