Admission for Indian students

Any Class 12 stream for bachelor's programmes. Master's programmes look for a relevant bachelor's and motivation; ISM's entrepreneurship scholarship covers 75% of tuition for strong applicants.

After graduation

Graduates can use the 12-month permit to look for work or to test a business. Vilnius has an active startup scene with accelerators and coworking spaces. Note that in October 2026 the Interior Minister proposed ending self-employment for students on study permits; this is a proposal, not law, but watch it if you plan freelance work while studying. See work while studying.

Entrepreneurship in Lithuania: Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start a business in Lithuania after studying?

Which master's in entrepreneurship are taught in English?
Vilnius University (DeepTech Entrepreneurship; Nanochemistry and Entrepreneurship), KTU (Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship) and ISM (Innovation and Technology Management).
