N. B. for non-EU/EFTA applicants: The gap since your completed Bachelor degree should not exceed five years. In order to qualify for the master studies at the faculty of Physics, at least 60% of studied subjects have to be from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Engineering, Materials Technologies, Nanotechnologies or related fields. The cumulative weighted average evaluation of these subjects has to be at least 60% of the maximum possible and all evaluations have to be positive (passed). Additional points could be obtained for scientific publications and scientific conference presentations in the fields relevant for the study programme as proved by the bibliographic references. The candidates who meet the above-listed criteria will be invited to a remote motivational interview. During the interview, the candidate’s determination to study in a science-based Master’s degree programme is assessed. If the interview is deemed unsatisfactory, the candidate will not be invited to study. Important: additional country-specific requirements are set only for the following countries which you can find HERE (STEP 2) The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / Lithuanian. Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original.

Overview
Using the latest theoretical and practical knowledge and a modern base of science and technologies in the environment of interdisciplinary studies, the Life and Chemical Physics studies programme is intended to educate the highly skilled specialists capable for the professional research activities aiming to seek and develop scientific and technological solutions applicable in the fields of environmental science, materials research science and biomedicine.
Career opportunities
The graduates can harmoniously integrate into multidisciplinary research and production teams, practically participate in high-tech manufacturing process and in business, manage technological production processes that require interdisciplinary knowledge of physics, chemistry, medical physics and biophysics; work in state expert, control and management institutions requiring competence in intersection of natural sciences.
There is a possibility to continue a scientific career by entering third-level (doctoral) studies in many fields of natural sciences in the VU Institute of Chemical Physics, during which a part of studies can be spent in Partners institutions abroad, or joining the scientific groups in the Center for Physical Sciences and Technology, the Life Sciences Center or National Cancer Institute.
