Aleksandras Stulginskis University - ASU (reviews)

The beginnings of the institution can be traced back to 1924 when the first buildings of what was then an academy were built in nearby Dotnuva. In the years that followed Lituania went through turbulent times which included foreign and brutal occupations. Higher education in the country persevered and faculties and buildings were gradually added to the academy. Thanks to the Lithuanian Parliament the name Lithuanian Academy of Agriculture was changed to Lithuanian University of Agriculture. In 2011 the current name was assumed.

It is the only university in Lithuania to offer degrees (from diplomas to PhDs) in some subject areas such as agriculture, climate change, food science, and mechanical engineering, among several others. In total, more than 5,000 students are in attendance at ASU.
