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

We do not offer business programmes. If you are looking to study business, management, marketing or a similar field, our college is not the right fit for you.

To apply for any of our technology programmes, you must meet all of the following requirements:

• Completed Grade 12 (National Examinations Board, NEB).
• Minimum overall GPA of 3.2 (out of 4.00) in Grade 12.
• Mathematics or Computer Science in Grade 12, with at least one of the following:
• • Mathematics (TH, theory exam): grade B+ (GPA 3.2) or higher; or
  • Computer Science (TH, theory exam): grade B+ (GPA 3.2) or higher.

Only the theory (TH) grade from the NEB examination is considered for Mathematics and Computer Science. Internal or practical grades (IN / PR) do not count towards this requirement.

Only applicants who completed Grade 12 in the Science or Humanities stream are eligible, provided they meet the requirements above. Applicants from the Management or Education stream are not eligible for technology programmes, regardless of their grades. Applicants who studied neither Mathematics nor Computer Science in Grade 12 are also not eligible.

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

Nepal is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so your educational documents must be legalised instead. Your original Grade 12 (Higher Secondary) certificate and transcript must be verified by the National Examinations Board (NEB) and legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nepal. Please also submit the documents certifying completion of your earlier secondary education (SEE / Grade 10). Documents that have not been verified and legalised will not be accepted.

• Secondary education (SEE / Grade 12): no more than 7 years may have passed since you completed your secondary education.
• Higher or post-secondary education: if you have studied after Grade 12, no more than 5 years may have passed since you completed or left those studies.
• Applicants must be no older than 35 years at the time of application.

Applicants with a longer gap are not eligible to apply.

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.

Before submitting your application, please make sure that you have:

• carefully reviewed all admission requirements above;
• prepared all required documents, including legalised educational documents;
• 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:

Please note:

• Applications are reviewed only after the €120 document processing fee has been received. The fee covers the administration and evaluation of your submitted documents.
• Documents without the required legalisation will not be evaluated.
• Applications from applicants whose passport does not meet the validity requirement above will not be evaluated.
• Submitting an invalid, blank or falsified document (for example, an empty file uploaded as proof of payment) will result in the rejection of your application and may permanently bar you from applying to Vilnius College of Design in the future.
