Distinctive features of a study programme:
The Mykolas Romeris University conducts this study program in English language. The studies are delivered at Myklolas Romeris University and include one semester of abroad. The study price is not influenced by a specific nature of studies and is not changing throughout the whole period of the studies. The mobility is based on student exchange programs, in order to ensure the financial stability for a student during a stay in the host university. The scholarship provided by the exchange programs is paid for the students who are going to study abroad, in order to ensure the sufficient level of living and the smooth process of integration in other state. The same financing model was used and was a success in the past when implementing the International Law program. This is the exclusive and student internationalization oriented study program of a second level in Lithuania, where the mobility semester is provided and the possibility to make acquaintance with the ideas and teaching methods of the best European scholars of international law is granted for the students. This is the only study program for time being, where the compulsory international practical training is offered. The qualitative places for the practical training are offered by the international partners of the university. The international practical training influences the ability of the student to apply theoretical knowledge and to acquire an international experience which is highly needed and demanded in contemporary labor market. The possibility to stay in country of origin for the practical training is allowed only as exception because of important personal reasons.
