Why Become a VU Student for a Day?

Registration is now open for Vilnius University’s event, Student for a Day. This experience isn’t just for school pupils; it’s for anyone curious about higher education, regardless of age or background, including international students. It offers a chance to immerse yourself in the world of academia, discover what being a student entails, and explore the intriguing study programs that might capture your interest.

Imagine this: as a participant, you’re invited to attend lectures not at one or two but at 15 faculties, including those in Kaunas and Šiauliai. You’ll mingle with current VU students, and here’s the exciting part – you can choose to join in person or virtually.

From October 23rd to 27th, you won’t be a passive observer. Instead, you’ll be actively engaged in lectures, seminars, and special sessions. It’s not just about visiting VU and its faculties; it’s an opportunity to acquire new knowledge, broaden your horizons, and find answers to those lingering questions about what to study.

But why should you consider becoming a student for a day? Well, higher education institutions aren’t one-size-fits-all. They come in various shapes and sizes, with different study locations, facilities, and student communities. Take VU, for instance – its units are spread across Vilnius, from the historic Old Town to the bustling Saulėtekis. There are also locations on M. K. Čiurlionio Street and Naugarduko Street, not to mention faculties in Šiauliai and Kaunas. By participating, you can explore these diverse environments and see if they resonate with your preferences, regardless of whether you’re a prospective student or just curious.

Now, let’s talk about the people who’ll be shaping your academic experience – the lecturers. Building a connection with them is vital, and “Student for a Day” provides an ideal platform to meet these educators, get to know them a bit, and ask any questions you might have. Moreover, you’ll get a glimpse into the unique format of VU lectures, which is different from traditional school classes or other university lectures.

Still not convinced? Here’s the big revelation – past “Student for a Day” participants have praised how this experience provided them with invaluable insights into their desired study programs. By actively participating in lectures and seminars, they gained hands-on experience of what their future studies would entail. It’s like a trial run for your academic journey, helping you decide which path to take.
