Mykolas Romeris University

Established in 1990, Mykolas Romeris University is the largest university in Lithuania to specialise in social sciences.

The university has two campuses, one in Vilnius and the other in Kaunas. Vilnius is the capital and largest city of Lithuania. It is situated in the southeast of the country and is home to Lithuania’s national government. Kaunas is the second largest city in Lithuania and boasts a number of cultural landmarks including Kaunas Castle and the House of Perkūnas.

There are four faculties within the university: law school, public security academy, faculty of human and social sciences, and the faculty of public governance and business. These faculties offer a range of degree programmes at bachelors, master’s and doctoral level.

The university was the first in Lithuania to introduce a joint studies programme with universities in France, Austria and Finland. It has also developed partnerships with higher education institutions in South Korean, Japan, China and India.

In 2015 the Social Innovations Laboratory Network was established in order to facilitate the latest social, humanitarian and technological research. The network consists of 16 laboratories, as well as the Research and Innovation Support Centre. There are more than 600 scientists and researchers who work across the laboratories.

On average, the university participates in about 50 national and international research projects a year.
