LSMU
I'm a physiotherapy student in LSMU , I have never regretted one day for enrolling in this University .The quality of study was exceeding expectations , we've got experienced professors who worked in the field for several years , new materials and tools that eased up our daily study routine in addition to that , communication between student ,administration and other staffs is so smooth and fast , eventually I would highly recommend this University for future students .
Review about Veterinary Medicine program at LSMU
Studying veterinary medicine at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences has been a very formative and mostly positive experience for me. One of the biggest strengths of the program is the relatively small group sizes, which really make a difference in day-to-day learning. Because the groups are smaller, there is a lot of hands-on practical work, and you are not just observing from the back of the room. You get real opportunities to practice skills and build confidence early on. The relationship between professors and students is another strong point. Many professors genuinely take the time to get to know you, and this creates a supportive learning environment where it feels comfortable to ask questions or ask for help. This personal approach made me feel more motivated and engaged throughout my studies. Most departments are well organized and focused on practical learning. The equine department, however, has been slightly lacking in the past, particularly in equine surgery, which was more theory-based due to limited staff. That said, the department has recently gained a dedicated equine surgeon, so there is a lot of hope and expectation that the practical side of equine surgery will continue to improve. Overall, my experience at LSMU has been challenging but rewarding, and it has helped prepare me well for a future career in veterinary medicine.
LSMU review
