Please note that there is usually no ready-made procedure for such study transfer since the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University offers a limited number of new study placements per year in each degree programme. Please contact the International Relations and Programmes office and inquire whether such a study transfer arrangement is possible.
Study Transfer Requirements (according to the Description of Admission of a Person Who Has Studied in Another Country or Foreign Institution of Higher Education and Wishes to Continue His/Her Studies at Vilnius University Procedure)1:
- a candidate must be a student, he/she has to be enrolled in higher education at a university abroad;
