Non-degree study programme subjects

Students of Vilnius University first cycle and integrated study programmes can additionally study their selected foreign language, thus expanding their knowledge acquired at the University.
You can register to these language classes via VU eStudent platform (in the section "Other foreign language"). Information on possible language learning levels and timetables can be found in Vilnius University Information System.

Vilnius University compensates part of the price of learning a foreign language (which is studied additionally and is not part of the study programme), therefore the price of one semester is only 55 EUR for Vilnius University students.
Information on the attended classes of non-degree study programme subjects (foreign language) is included in the diploma supplement and, if necessary, a certificate is issued.

Cooperation with Vilnius Academy of Arts (VDA) and Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (LMTA)

VU is continuing its cooperation with Vilnius Academy of Arts and Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre. VU students can select one course unit offered by another higher education institution instead of an optional course unit provided in the study plan for the autumn or spring semester, by coordinating this with the administration of their core academic unit. Student registration is carried out during autumn (September) and spring (January-February) semesters.

Optional course units

Students who have optional course unit in their study plans by the end of the semester must register for the optional course units of another semester. The final registration deadline of optional course units (modules) for the spring semester is the 15th of December, and 15th of May for the autumn semester. Students of the first study semester must register for optional course units (modules) within the first two semester weeks. Students shall have the right to cancel their registration for optional course units (modules) and select other course units no later than within the first two weeks of the semester.

Suspension, Termination and Resumption

Suspension of studies

If a student (unclassified student) is no longer able to continue studying due to justified reasons, the head of the core academic unit can allow the student to suspend his studies for no more than one year.

A student (unclassified student) who is temporarily unable to continue his/her studies due to an illness, pregnancy or child care, and who provides documents proving such circumstances, shall be granted an academic leave of absence. Academic leave of absence may be granted for the following periods of time: due to an illness - for up to two years; due to pregnancy and child care - for a period established by the laws, but for no longer than three years. Academic leave of absence is granted by the head of the core academic unit. The duration of academic leave of absence shall be counted from the application submission date.

A student (unclassified student) may also be granted an academic leave of absence due to personal reasons. It should be noted that an academic leave can be granted for personal reasons only once during the study period, and for no more than one year. At the end of this period, the student may submit a study suspension application.

Resumption or continuation of studies

Suspended studies can be resumed. Studies can be resumed if the person has fulfilled the first semester study plan of the University's first cycle, second cycle or integrated study programme, and has no financial obligations to the University. Studies may be resumed, if the credit difference between a student’s previous and intended study programme does not exceed 15 credits.

The course unit (module) difference resulting from a minor change in the study programme can be eliminated within one year from the resumption of studies. Such differences are not considered to be debts / academic debts. If the person has more than 15 credit differences in course units (modules), the person shall eliminate the differences before the resumption of studies.

A person who studied in another higher education institution and terminated his studies may resume these studies in Vilnius University. In this case, the person must have completed the first semester without any academic debts and must submit a written application to the faculty (unit) where he wants to resume his studies. The learning outcomes of the person who wishes to continue studying in the University shall be credited after assessing their compliance with the requirements of the preferred study programme. The semester of the studies from which the student is allowed to continue to study shall depend on the ratio between the portion of the study programme completed by the student during his previous studies, and the course units (modules) of the study programme to which the student is admitted to continue the studies.

Please fill in the application form below and send it to the Coordinator of International Integrated Studies. You can address all the questions regarding the resumption process to the Academic consultant.

Assessment and Rotation

An examination is the main method of assessment of learning outcomes. Certain subjects may be assessed as passed or failed. Examinations and pass/fail evaluations are carried out either in writing or orally and in writing.

Assessment of learning outcomes is carried out by the lecturer of the course unit or a commission of specialists of that field which also includes the lecturer of the course unit. A commission may be formed for the assessment of learning outcomes and in other cases under a written request submitted by students or unclassified students.

Academic debts and their elimination

A student can retake failed examinations (pass/fail evaluations) once no later than within the first two weeks of the new semester. If the examination period was extended for the student, the student must retake the failed examinations (pass/fail evaluations) within two weeks after the end of the extended period.

When a student fails an examination (pass/fail evaluation) during the retakings, the student must apply to the administration of the core academic unit (faculty) in order to repeat the course unit (module). To repeat a course unit, the student must submit an appropriate application before the semester or at the beginning of it. An established price is paid for repeating a course unit, calculated by multiplying 1/60 of the annual study programme price of the current year by the number of course unit credits.

Students who have debts and/or academic debts of more than 15 credits, as well as students who were not allowed to repeat the studies of these course units shall be expelled from the University.

Student rating and ranking

A rank is a number of students with the highest course unit (module) examination grades, formed in a descending order of the weighted average of learning outcomes. A rank is formed after each study semester according to the weighted average of the student's learning outcomes of the last semester at the University.

Weighted average of learning outcomes is the average of learning outcomes depending on the number of the studied course unit (module) credits and received grades; the grades of freely chosen course units are not considered when calculating the weighted average of learning outcomes.

Students are ranked:

To assess the performance of students and provide comparative information about their academic achievements;
When granting incentive scholarships to students;
To transfer students from a non-state-funded place to a state-funded place;
To compensate the price of studies paid by students;
In other cases provided by the core academic unit (faculty).
