Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) – Music Academy / Faculty of Arts, Music Production
Kaunas, LithuaniaPOTENTIAL — not yet offered / not confirmed
🟡 Production-oriented English-taught BA (recording, sound design, music production, music business); no acoustics, DSP or programming overlap, and per-course English availability for exchange is unconfirmed
English-taught programme: Music Production BA (210 ECTS, 3.5 years, 7 semesters, Kaunas) is taught fully in English with three professional recording studios, covering sound recording, sound engineering, sound design, music marketing and audiovisual projects. The exchange catalogue (vdu.lt) lists these courses but does not show language per course, so English availability should be confirmed with the Music Academy before signing a learning agreement.
