Language Requirement
What are the language requirements to participate in the EMINENT programme?
EMINENT students need to be fluent in English. During the application process you need to proof your English skills by submitting at least a B2 level validated by a certification. Candidates that have obtained their bachelor’s (or master’s) degree in a study course taught in the English language in an EU country or in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the USA, or Switzerland do not require an English test result. For nationals of countries where English is the ONLY native language, proof of English language skills is also not required. All courses will be taught in English. But if you are interested in taking a local language course in addition, please contact the respective International Office.

All the documents should be submitted online. All the enclosures must be uploaded in pdf-format on the online application form. No other formats will be accepted or reviewed during the selection process.

Scholarship and Fees
What are the requirements to be selected for Scholarship?
All eligible applications submitted before the deadline will be considered both, for admission and for the award of a scholarship. The awarding of a scholarship will be based on the student’s evaluation result as well as on his/her country of origin, as we must ensure geographical balance when awarding scholarships.
Do I need to pay tuition fees?
No tuition fees will be requested from EMINENT students. The only mandatory costs will be the semester fees at USIEGEN and the registration fees at VILNIUS TECH. The semester fees at USIEGEN (322 €) cover the semester ticket, solidarity contributions and social contributions to the Student Union. These fees only have to be paid for the semesters that the students physically spend at USIEGEN.
Students who choose the specialisation track at VILNIUS TECH have to pay 200 € (one-time payment, regardless of the number of semesters) in order to enrol. For scholarship holders, the fees at VILNIUS TECH will be covered by the consortium.
