Lithuanian University of Health Science - LSMU (reviews)

The institution is a product of the merging of Kaunas University of Medicine and the Lithuanian Veterinary Academy, which occurred in 2010 under the Lithuanian Parliament. This merger means that LSMU is now the largest biomedical sciences university in the country.

Studies at LSMU

Academically, LSMU is divided into two academies; the Medical and Veterinary Academies. As for its practical side, the university’s medicine, nursing, and odontology students complete work placement stints at the LSMU Hospital Kauno Klinikos which is the biggest medical institution of the Baltic States.

Programmes of study at both under- and postgraduate levels are offered by the university. Its faculties include: Animal Husbandry and Technology, Medicine, Nursing, Odontology, Pharmacy, Public Health, and Veterinary Medicine. Faculties are comprised of more specialised subject areas within the relevant field.

LSMU students also have the option to participate in the Erasmus exchange programme for up to a year. The university maintains partnerships for Erasmus exchanges in 26 European countries, mainly in Finland, France, Germany, and Spain.

Alongside its taught courses of study, LSMU also conducts its own research.

Life at LSMU

For accommodation, first-years usually apply to the LSMU Hostel for their freshman year living arrangements. As for students in other years, it is their responsibility to arrange accommodation, but they may get help from the Admission Officers in the International Relations and Study Centre. In addition the university provides a list of sources students may pursue in their search for accommodation, you can find these links here under ‘Apartment Rental.’

Student wellbeing is also supported at the institution through a number of support networks focusing on Cultural Adjustment, Mentoring, Tutoring, and Psychological Counselling.

LSMU students may also get involved in the student unions which are KIMSU (the Kaunas International Medical Student Union), the LSMU Student Union, and ESN (which represents international students).
