1 November 2026*
LSMU: application portal opensDetails
LSMU advises applying as early as possible; entrance tests begin in mid-January.
Published for the 2026 intake as "1 November 2025 - Opening the online application period. All applicants must apply at apply.lsmuni.lt and upload copies of all required documents." LSMU publishes a dated "Application calendar" for one intake at a time; on 23 September 2026 it still showed the 2026 intake, headed "RULES FOR ADMITTING STUDENTS TO THE LITHUANIAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES IN 2026". The date here is that calendar rolled forward by one year and is provisional until LSMU publishes the 2027 one. Review of applications begins nine days later, on 10 November, and LSMU says plainly what that means: "Applicants are recommended to apply as early as possible. Applications submitted after the deadline could be considered only in case of available study places." An early application also buys you a choice of entrance-test date, which a late one does not.

13 January 2027*
LSMU - entrance tests and motivational interviews beginDetails
Published for the 2026 intake as "13 January 2026 - The period of Entrance tests and motivational interviews starts." LSMU publishes a dated "Application calendar" for one intake at a time; on 23 September 2026 it still showed the 2026 intake, headed "RULES FOR ADMITTING STUDENTS TO THE LITHUANIAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES IN 2026". The date here is that calendar rolled forward by one year and is provisional until LSMU publishes the 2027 one. The test is online: an interview a few days before a 90-minute multiple-choice paper in Biology and Chemistry, 30 questions each (Biology and Mathematics for Psychology). Missing the interview cancels the written test automatically, and a date can only be changed with an admission officer’s approval. IB holders with grade 5 at higher level in the required subjects are exempt from the entrance examination altogether, which is the single biggest reason for an IB candidate to look at LSMU. Without a TOEFL, IELTS or CEFR B1 certificate you must also sit LSMU’s own English test.

30 July 2027, 00:00*
LSMU: final application deadlineEqual considerationDetails
The last LSMU deadline, and the system again closes at 00:00. LSMU says an application after the deadline could be considered only if the programme still has places.
The second and last LSMU deadline, with the same midnight trap as the first: "30 July 2026 - Application deadline. The online application system will be closed on 30 July at 00:00." LSMU publishes a dated "Application calendar" for one intake at a time; on 23 September 2026 it still showed the 2026 intake, headed "RULES FOR ADMITTING STUDENTS TO THE LITHUANIAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES IN 2026". The date here is that calendar rolled forward by one year and is provisional until LSMU publishes the 2027 one. The last published entrance test sits on the same calendar day at 10:00, after the application system has already closed, so the test is for people who applied earlier. LSMU adds that an application after the deadline "could be considered only in case of available study places in a certain degree programme" - possible, but not something to plan on. After it: the 150 EUR application fee and the 250 EUR registration fee are invoiced with their own deadlines, and LSMU says twice that "Failure to pay the fee on time will result in stopping your admission procedure", as does failing to sign the study contract by the date in the Dean’s letter.

LSMU - primary application deadline, and it closes at midnight the night beforePriorityDetails
The system closes at 00:00, so in practice the night before. An additional round for selected programmes opens the next day and runs to 30 July.
The trap is the time, not the date. LSMU publishes "6 July 2026 - Application deadline. The online application system will be closed on 6 July at 00:00", which means the system is already shut when 6 July begins - the last day you can actually submit is 5 July. LSMU publishes a dated "Application calendar" for one intake at a time; on 23 September 2026 it still showed the 2026 intake, headed "RULES FOR ADMITTING STUDENTS TO THE LITHUANIAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES IN 2026". The date here is that calendar rolled forward by one year and is provisional until LSMU publishes the 2027 one. It falls in the same week as IB results, so assemble and submit the application before results day rather than after it. An additional round for selected programmes opens the following day, but LSMU does not name those programmes. A Medicine applicant should therefore treat 5 July as the last submission day and not rely on the extra round.

1 September 2027*
LSMU - studies beginDetails
Published for the 2026 intake as studies beginning at the start of September, with "Student Registration Week takes place a week before" - so the week of late August is not optional and not a holiday. LSMU publishes a dated "Application calendar" for one intake at a time; on 23 September 2026 it still showed the 2026 intake, headed "RULES FOR ADMITTING STUDENTS TO THE LITHUANIAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES IN 2026". The date here is that calendar rolled forward by one year and is provisional until LSMU publishes the 2027 one. Before you travel there is the 1,500 EUR deposit for EU/EEA students to pay on top of the application and registration fees.
