  • Student Work Hours in Lithuania: What Is Changing

Student work rules in Lithuania are under review, and the change matters if you are planning to fund part of your studies through a job. Here is the position as it stands and what is being proposed.

The Current Distinction

Lithuanian labour law has treated two groups of students differently:

  • Bachelor’s students — a weekly cap on working hours during term.
  • Master’s students — able to work up to 40 hours per week, the same as any employee.

What Is Being Proposed

A draft amendment would return bachelor’s students to a firm 20 hours per week during term, while leaving the 40-hour allowance for master’s students in place.

Why the Change

Universities, the education ministry and the migration authorities have all raised the same concern: a proportion of bachelor’s students were attending very few lectures because work had taken priority. The amendment is intended to:

  • keep coursework as the primary commitment of a student permit;
  • discourage the use of a study permit primarily as a route to full-time work;
  • address gig work such as food delivery, where hours are harder to record against an official limit.

What It Means in Practice

  • Bachelor’s students should plan on 20 hours per week and keep any employment contract within that limit.
  • Master’s students retain the wider allowance.
  • Documented work is safer than informal arrangements, because hours can be evidenced if the university or migration office asks.
  • Evening and weekend shifts are a practical way to stay inside the cap without missing lectures.

Studying in Lithuania from Morocco

We place Moroccan students on English-taught programmes across a range of fields, including medicine, informatics, artificial intelligence, mechanical engineering, mechatronics and management, at both bachelor’s and master’s level.
