Italy
Italy is one of Europe's most respected destinations for English-medium MBBS/MD education. Indian students choose Italy for its globally ranked public universities, WHO and NMC-recognised 6-year medicine programs, affordable tuition compared to Western Europe, and the IMAT-based admission pathway that rewards academic preparation over connections.
Admission process
Lithuania
For LSMU's BSc in Health Sciences (General Practice Nurse), eligibility is straightforward — but Indian students should confirm their entrance test status and Apostille requirements before applying.
Italy
Italian public medical universities offer degrees recognised by WHO, NMC, and ECFMG — giving Indian graduates eligibility for FMGE/NExT licensing and international practice. Tuition fees are significantly lower than the UK or Australia. IMAT is an objective, entrance-exam-based pathway with test centres in India. Italy's medical education traces back to the world's first university (Bologna, 1088) and Padova (1222), giving Indian students an academic heritage unmatched in European medicine.

Admission process
We verify your Class 12 Biology and Chemistry marks, IELTS or English test score, and NEET score (if applicable) to assess your LSMU competitiveness and entrance test exemption status. If your NEET score is 650 or above, we confirm your exemption with LSMU admissions immediately. We prepare your complete document set in the exact format LSMU requires: Class 10 and 12 certificates and marksheets Apostilled by MEA India, authorised English translations of any regional-language documents, IELTS/English certificate, passport copy, passport photograph (3×4 cm), and motivation letter. Apostille is mandatory — we guide you through the MEA process from your city.
Lithuania
Indian students choose Lithuania for nursing primarily because of LSMU's unique position: it is one of only 5 WHO Collaborating Centres for Nursing in all of Europe, and its BSc degree is automatically recognised across all 27 EU member states under EU Directive 2005/36/EC. The total 4-year cost of approximately EUR 31,000–45,000 (INR 28–41 lakhs) is dramatically lower than equivalent nursing programmes in Canada or the UK. Lithuania's Schengen membership is a key practical advantage — students can travel across 26 European countries on their residence permit, and a Lithuanian TRP is the foundation for building a European nursing career. Germany's nursing shortage (150,000+ additional nurses needed by 2027) creates documented long-term demand at EUR 2,800–3,800/month gross — a salary multiple of 10–15x what Indian hospitals pay. Part-time work rights (20 hours/week during term) allow students to offset living costs. Kaunas is an affordable, safe, student-friendly Baltic city with budget airline connections to all major European hubs.
