Lithuania - other programmes

Integrated studies can be organised in those cases only when this is established in legal acts. Integrated study programmes must meet general and special requirements laid down in the descriptions of the study field (a group of fields or area), which are approved by the Minister of Education and Science, or must satisfy only general requirements if there are no special requirements approved.

The integrated study programme can be devoted to the following:

• studies of the major field upon completion of which a qualification degree in that field (branch) is awarded, and to subjects established by a higher education institution and chosen by a student which are intended for a deeper specialisation in that field (branch), or to practical training;
• studies of the major field upon completion of which a qualification degree in the field (branch) is awarded and to the module (modules), subject (subjects) or practical training of another field (branch) established by higher education institutions and chosen by a student;
• studies of the major field upon completion of which a qualification degree in the field (branch) is awarded and to general subjects of university studies (subjects related to the world outlook and general erudition, which are not directly related to the content of studies of the major field) established by higher education institutions and chosen by a student that are of a larger scope than the necessary scope established in this description;
• two-field studies – the major field and the minor field – established by a higher education institution and chosen by a student, upon completion of which a double qualification degree in the major field (branch) and the minor field (branch) is awarded.
