102 Your Scholarship in Europe 2008-2009 Lithuania BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT LITHUANIA Lithuania is the largest of the three Baltic States. It is bound by the Baltic Sea, Latvia, Poland and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia and Belarus. The capital of the country is Vilnius. Lithuania has a population of 3.5 million people, 87% of whom are ethnic Lithuanians, 6.31% ethnic Russians and 6,74% ethnic Poles. The offi cial language is Lithuanian. THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM In Lithuania, higher educational institutions provide study programmes of varying duration and levels. The institutions are of two types: universities and colleges – non-university higher educational institutions. Universities offer bachelors, masters and doctoral programmes, high-level professional creative artistic activities, post-graduate art studies and research opportunities. A college is a higher educational institution where non-university studies prevail, applied research is carried out and (or) professional arts are developed. Non-university consecutive studies are professional studies intended for training for a professional career. Since 2007, a Professional Bachelors degree has been introduced. University level (fi rst cycle): Undergraduate studies (Pagrindinės studijos): Undergraduate studies leading to a Bachelors degree (Bakalauras) or a professional qualifi cation normally last four years. University level (second cycle): Specialized or Masters studies (Magistras), integrated studies: Upon completion of an undergraduate study programme, graduates may pursue specialized professional studies or studies leading to a Masters degree lasting 1½ to 2 years. Specialised professional study programmes lasting 1-2 years lead to professional qualifi cations. There are also integrated studies (i.e. combined fi rst and second cycles): the duration of studies is no more than 6 academic years and no less than 5 academic years. University level (third cycle): Rezidentūra (Residency), Meno aspirantūra (Postgraduate art studies), Doktorantūra (Doctoral studies): Doctoral studies last 4 years and can be pursued after completing the second cycle, integrated studies, or acquiring equivalent qualifi cations. Upon completion of the doctoral
course, a doctoral thesis must be prepared and publicly defended by the candidate in order to qualify for a Doctorate. Doctoral studies must be jointly organised by higher educational and research institutions. SCHOLARSHIPS The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania offers Russian students the following scholarships: SUMMER SCHOLARSHIPS The Republic of Lithuania offers Russian students two scholarships a year for summer language and culture courses organised by Lithuanian universities. However, the number of scholarships may be reconsidered and enlarged subject to an unused quota by other foreign countries (e.g. in 2007, 7 Russian students were awarded summer scholarships). For further information on the application procedure and deadlines, please contact the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania or the Lithuanian Embassy in Moscow. ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS The Republic of Lithuania offers two scholarships with total duration of 20 months a year for Russian students’ Lithuanian (Baltic) Studies.
