HIGHER EDUCATION
- General Information
- Higher education is offered at institutions designated as
universitet (university), institute i lartė (higher institute), or
akademi (academy). Universities are autonomous institutions, which are run by both managing and professional bodies. At the present time, there are eight universities, one higher institute and one academy of defence.

- Admission Requirements
- A Certificate of Maturity is required for admission to all programs. In addition, many higher education institutions require admissions examinations for particular fields.

The Doktor mi Shkencave (Doctor of Sciences) is the highest academic degree awarded and is based on a significant period of research.
