Vilnius College of Design offers 8 technology programmes and 5 design programmes only. See all study programmes

• • Mathematics: at least 80%; or
  • Computer Science: at least 70%.

Eligible streams: Science (for example PCM, PCMB, or another Science combination with Computer Science) or Humanities / Arts with Mathematics or Computer Science, provided the grade requirements above are met.

The following subjects do not replace Mathematics or Computer Science: Applied Mathematics, Informatics Practices and Engineering Graphics.

Applicants from the Commerce or vocational stream, or who did not study Mathematics or Computer Science in Class XII (for example, PCB without Mathematics), are not eligible for technology programmes, regardless of their grades.

Admission to design programmes requires a portfolio. Each application is evaluated individually, based on the portfolio and the criteria described under “Admission requirements” for each of your chosen programmes, for example Graphic Design

Applicants who require a Lithuanian temporary residence permit must also be prepared to submit a criminal record / police clearance certificate from every country in which they have lived for more than 6 months during the previous 2 years. The certificate must normally be issued no earlier than 6 months before the residence permit application and, where required, must be legalised or apostilled.

This certificate is not part of the academic admission assessment. It is required by the Migration Department of the Republic of Lithuania for the residence permit application.

At the time of application, your passport must be valid for the entire duration of your studies plus at least 6 months after graduation.

For example, if you start your studies in September 2027 and graduate in September 2030, your passport must be valid until at least March 2031.

Applicants whose passport does not meet this validity requirement will not be considered.

• carefully reviewed all admission requirements above;
• prepared all required documents, including apostilled documents where applicable;
• paid the €120 non-refundable document processing fee: payment information

Once all requirements have been met, you can submit your application and supporting documents through our online application form:
