After graduating from high school, I had no idea where the world would take me. I was fortunate enough to have found LSMU’s Medicine program from a family friend and after a bit of research into what the university could offer me, I was ready to begin the next chapter of my life. And looking back over the last few years, I am glad I decided to leave my comfort zone and to start building towards my future. LSMU’s Medicine program was just what I was looking for with their Problem Based Learning style of education. I have tried to embrace everything this country and university has to offer and I have been rewarded in more ways than I could have imagined. I have made great progress with my medical knowledge, gained many life-long friendships from all over the world, and improved as a person overall.

My name is Ajanta Alexandra Basak and I am a veterinary medicine student from Canada. LSMU is located in the picturesque city of Kaunas. LSMU provides international students the opportunity to pursue their dreams. The small class sizes allow for more interaction between professors and students leading to enhanced learning of the material. The abundance of hands-on practice better prepares students to face challenges during their internships and future careers. LSMU also acknowledges students that have obtained degrees from previous institutions. By attending LSMU you will be provided the opportunity to meet students from different cultures and grow both personally and professionally.  I am pleased with my decision to attend LSMU and follow my dreams of becoming a veterinarian. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email.

International studying is a great experience, it not only means to live in another country and be much more responsible for yourself, you also get to know a lot of other cultures and great people. In LSMU not everybody studies for himself, the international students are one team, especially your group will grow together and you support each other, so it is much more fun. The module system in general medicine provides all the knowledge related to corresponding system, which makes studying medicine much more practical and even more interesting.

Hello beautiful people! I am here to represent the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, and bring forward to you some wonderful benefits of being an LSMUian!
Sounds amazing! Isn’t it? Well LSMU provides you with one of the best education systems in eastern Europe. The PBL(Problem-Based Learning) system specifically from 2nd year onwards( my personal favorite :D) furnishes you to a clinically polished doctor. As well it provides you with one of the best clinical exposure in the Baltic State’s largest hospital which is affiliated with the university! Isn’t it magnificent?! The professor’s quick and amazing interaction with students proves that a sweet understanding between both parties still exists in today’s era. You’ll also have the opportunity to make a lot of international friends from all around the world! And much more!!! This is an amazing world necessary for you to get experienced with! 😀

The LSMU provides an ambience which every student needs, it makes you want to study more. Our expectations may first look unfeasible but finally this appears possible. You never know how quickly time passes with you improving along the way. Cultural diversity, i would say, is one of the pillars for the LSMU. It gives you an environment where you grow as a person and as a professional. Your group will become your new family. The LSMU shapes you into what you want to be. All you need is dedication and focus, everything else will be given by the beautiful city (Kaunas) and the LSMU itself. You will eventually become part of the LSMU family.

My experience at LSMU has been exceptional, owing to its highly esteemed Veterinary Medical program that provides abundant opportunities for professional growth under the guidance of expert doctors. The university boasts of a picturesque campus, state-of-the-art libraries, and a plethora of social connections in Lithuania and Europe, along with an array of activities to choose from. Located in the heart of Lithuania, in the nature-filled town of Kaunas, the university provides an ideal setting for learning and growth.

Furthermore, LSMU has facilitated my participation in an Erasmus exchange program, which offered me an opportunity to experience a different approach to my major in a foreign country while exploring a new culture. I am grateful to be a part of the LSMU family, which has played a significant role in helping me achieve my dreams and aspirations as a Veterinary Medicine Doctor.

My name is Peter, I am from Nigeria and I study at the Medical Faculty of LSMU. Generally, Medicine is a program that requires consistency, dedication, and hard work. Yes, it could be stressful at times, but the study structure at LSMU provides a hands-on experience/learning environment, meaning that students have the opportunities to meet with doctors, patients and discuss real clinical situations as early as the second year. LSMU is a very culturally diverse university, we have students from African countries, European countries, Asia, and America. On this note, representation is very important. It helps prospective students to feel, absorbed and to possibly satisfy the common curiosity of every foreign student about integration at the university. The reasons, I decided to join the outstanding list of current Ambassadors are to provide support, information about the study life at the university and in the city to any prospective foreign student.

Most prospective students face the same fate as Robert Frost in his poem “The Road Not Taken”. The fundamental question in both cases is: “Which road should I choose?”

This is not a decision that can be made lightly, since it determines the course of your future.

My name is Elmie Esterhuizen, and I was no exception to this question. After careful consideration, the decision I made lead me to unimaginable joy. Now, as a medical student, I can assist others to relieve this burden. Being an ambassador, gives me the opportunity to represent LSMU and the myriad of possibilities it has to offer.

On your road to success, LSMU is the construction company laying the foundation of your expedition, and the ambassadors the GPS system offering route guidance along the way.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Hello, beautiful people!!! I am Thulasigan Yogeaswaran, originally from Sri Lanka. I am very honored, and it is a great privilege for me to serve as an ambassador for LSMU, my university. The educational journey I embarked on at LSMU was the most internal process and this was guided and supported by “Problem Based Learning” approach that is very unique and fantastically the clinical experience availed at the grandeur largest hospital in the Baltic.

LSMU stands out not only for its high academic standards but also for its strong community, fostering deep connections between teachers and students. The diverse campus, a blend of cultures from various regions, enriches relationships and expands perspectives. Kaunas, with its welcoming atmosphere and serene spots like Laisvės Alėja and Kauno Pilis offers peace and inspiration, making it a place where dreams flourish.

One of the reasons which makes LSMU family to be so special is that everyone has a right to share their own experiences and give you the support which you need. Though academic issues or difficulties to find yourself as you’re in new surroundings may arise, I am always willing to give a helping hand. LSMU’s nurturing environment is what unfolds your dreams into reality, and I am so excited and honored to be a part of this community.
