VU Student for a Day Event Attracts Lithuanian and Foreign Students

In October, Vilnius University (VU) hosted its traditional Student for a Day event, where students had the opportunity to experience first-hand the difference between university studies and school classes. This year's event attracted significant interest from Lithuanian and foreign students, with over 5,300 students registered. The largest number of students attending the lectures were tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders.

Prospective students came from all over Lithuania - Vilnius, Panevėžys, Alytus, Šiauliai, Kaunas, Klaipėda and other Lithuanian schools. Most of the lectures were contact-based.

The lectures were attended by students not only from Lithuania but also from abroad. As many as 52 countries registered. The countries with the greatest interest were Nigeria, Ukraine, India and Ghana.

At the VU Student for a Day event, students were able to attend lectures and interactive activities in various fields of study. Foreign students also attended to lectures organised by student ambassadors on studying and admission procedures at VU and life in Lithuania.

In addition, VU invited students to join the initiative and take part in additional Open University lectures, which were very well attended, with classes registering for the sessions.

Student for a Day is a VU event that has become a tradition, where students can experience what it is like to be a student. They can participate not only in lectures and seminars but also in various competitions, win prizes and learn about the VU admission procedure.
