General Information
Acceptance of applications for transfer to the autumn semester 2025 deadline – April 14, 2025. Transfer applications will be accepted ONLY FOR TRANSFER TO YEAR 2, YEAR 3, AND YEAR 4 OF THE MEDICINE study programme. Therefore, those who have finished 2, 3, or 4 years of the Medicine study programme are welcome to apply!
IMPORTANT update for Ukrainian and Belarusian citizens: We regret to inform you that the tuition fee waiver scholarships for Ukrainian/Belarusian citizens are NO LONGER AVAILABLE at the Faculty of Medicine, VU.
General information and requirements for transferring students:
- Students applying for transfer to Medicine study programme have to be a student or have studied Medicine. Students from other study programmes ARE NOT considered for transfer to Medicine study programmes.
- All transfer students are placed to a lower year (usually 1 year lower if the programmes are comparable) to make up for the programme differences between the two Universities. This will prolong your studies.
- Applicants who are about to finish or just finished year 1 of their studies WILL NOT be considered for transfer. If such applicants are willing to study at VU they have to apply for admission from year 1. Further information: https://www.vu.lt/en/studies/bachelor-and-integrated-studies/study-programmes
- It IS NOT POSSIBLE to transfer to the final year of the studies. At least 4 semesters have to be studied at VU in order to be able to receive VU diploma.
- IMPORTANT! It is not possible to do only an internship at VU (applies to both Medicine and Dentistry study programmes). Such separate internship programme IS NOT AVAILABLE and IS NOT OFFERED for non-VU students.
- All applicants ARE REQUIRED to meet all the obligations as other VU students, including the FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. Please make sure you are familiar with tuition fees at VU MF and you are capable of financing your studies. No exceptions will be made as NO SCHOLARSHIPS will be offered.
