Kaunas, Lithuania's second-largest city and its interwar capital, is on the UNESCO World Heritage list for some of Europe's best-preserved modernist architecture and was European Capital of Culture in 2022. With institutions such as Kaunas University of Technology and Vytautas Magnus University, it is a young, affordable student city.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language study options in Kaunas. Lithuanian courses and English preparation programs at Kaunas University of Technology, Vytautas Magnus University and the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences are among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university language centres and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length and type of your program: a Schengen visa for short courses and a national visa and residence permit for university and preparatory programs. Rules change from time to time, so check current conditions in official sources; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
Students in Lithuania on a Schengen visa for a language course cannot work. Full-time students with a residence permit can work up to 20 hours a week during term and full time in the holidays.
