English-taught master's programmes are common in Lithuania, especially in bigger universities and in popular fields like business, IT, engineering, and social sciences. You can find options in both public and private institutions, but the number of programmes and the tuition rules vary a lot by university and subject.
If you want to study in English, the best first step is to check each university's official programme page and admissions page. That is where you will see the language level needed, the documents required, and the tuition for your exact programme.
How common English-taught master's study is
Lithuania has a small but active English-taught master's market. You will find the largest choice in universities that recruit international students regularly, and in subjects that are easy to teach to mixed student groups.
- Business and management
- Computer science and IT
- Engineering and technology
- Finance and economics
- Public policy, international relations, and social sciences
- Some health, design, and life science programmes
Not every master's is offered in English. In some universities, only part of the master's catalogue is in English, so it is normal to compare several schools before you decide.
What tuition usually looks like
Tuition in Lithuania depends on the university, the subject, and whether you are from the EU/EEA or from outside it. There is no single national fee. Always check the programme page for the exact amount.
Typical yearly tuition ranges are often around:
- About EUR 2,500 to EUR 5,000 for some humanities, social science, and business programmes
- About EUR 3,000 to EUR 6,500 for many engineering, IT, and technical programmes
- Higher fees for some specialised or competitive programmes, especially at private universities
In many cases, EU/EEA students may pay the same as other students for a given programme, but some universities set different fees by nationality or funding status. Some programmes also have state-funded places, but these are limited and competitive.
Which fields have the most options
If you want the widest choice, start with these areas. They usually have the most English-taught master's programmes in Lithuania.
- Business administration and management
- Information technology and software
- Engineering and applied sciences
- Economics and finance
- International business and marketing
- Law and public governance in some universities
If your field is more specialised, such as art, education, or medicine, there may still be English options, but the number is usually smaller. Check more than one university.
Language requirements
For English-taught master's programmes, universities usually ask for proof of English level. The most common proof is an IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge exam, or another accepted certificate. Some universities may accept previous study in English or their own interview or internal test.
- Many programmes ask for B2 level or equivalent
- Some more competitive programmes may want a higher level
- A few universities may waive the test if your previous degree was fully taught in English
Do not guess. Check the university's admissions page, because accepted tests and minimum scores can differ from one school to another.
How to find the right programme
The easiest way is to search the university website and the national study portals used in Lithuania. Then compare the details one by one.
- Search for master's programmes in English in your subject.
- Open the official programme page.
- Check tuition, entry requirements, and language proof.
- Look for the application dates on the university admissions page.
- Read whether the programme is full-time, part-time, or research-based.
Pay attention to these points:
- Is the programme fully in English or only partly in English?
- Does it accept your bachelor degree background?
- Are there extra tests, interviews, or portfolio requirements?
- Do you need legalised documents, translations, or a diploma supplement?
How to approach universities
Once you find a programme, contact the university admissions office if something is unclear. Keep your message short and specific. Mention the programme name, your degree, your English level, and the question you need answered.
A simple message can help you move faster:
- Who you are and what you studied
- The exact master's programme you want
- Your English certificate or study language
- Your question about entry, tuition, or documents
Some universities reply quickly, while others take longer during busy admissions periods. If you do not get an answer, check the website again or use the admissions contact listed there.
Common questions
Can I study in Lithuania in English if I do not speak Lithuanian?
Yes, for many master's programmes. English-taught options are made for international students. But some daily life and some services may still be in Lithuanian, so it helps to learn a few basics after arrival.
Are scholarships available for English-taught master's degrees?
Sometimes, yes. Scholarships can come from the university, the Lithuanian government, or outside organisations. Check the scholarship's own official site and the university's financial aid page for the rules and deadlines.
How do I know if my degree is accepted?
Check the entry requirements on the programme page. Universities usually state what kind of bachelor's degree they accept, and they may also ask for a transcript, course descriptions, or a diploma supplement.
