      Why is it valuable to spend Erasmus study period at Vilnius Co-operative College?

      Non-traditional and innovative teaching/learning methods
      Most lecturers are professionals of their taught subject areas, having many years of academic and practical experience. Vilnius Co-operative College specializes in effective learning, which is “learning by doing”. The long-lasting practise in experiential learning proved that learning is effective when a student receives information through her/his own active experience/behaviour.

      30 ECTS
      An international student has a great opportunity to choose variable subjects and gather 30 ECTS. This enables student to study the subjects, which will be fully acknowledged in his/her home institution.

      Europass
      Each international student receives Europass Mobility document which acknowledges student’s study period in a European country for the purpose of learning. Europass is an international document, acknowledged in all the EU member states and associated countries, and is a valuable argument for your international experience (more information see: http://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/europass/home/vernav/InformationOn/EuropassMobility.csp).

      Geographic centre between the East and West
      Lithuania is a geographic centre between the East and West, which gives opportunity not only to meet Lithuanian culture and social peculiarities, but also to travel to neighbour countries of Lithuania.
