Built on a liberal arts model — the school that gives students the widest freedom in choosing their courses.
Kaunas · Humanities, social sciences, business
Vytautas Magnus University runs a liberal arts model in which students largely build their own course plan. Taking subjects outside your main field is the norm rather than the exception.
Social sciences, economics, languages and politics are its strong areas. For a student who hasn't fully settled on a field but wants to start university, that flexibility can be a real advantage.
