Vilnius universiety Bachelor's and Master's study programmes are clear national leaders in the field of biochemistry. In terms of content and quality, both programmes meet high international standards.  Both programmes have solid, well-designed curricula with a good balance between core biochemistry, broader biosciences and general subjects, while also offering sufficient elective options for flexibility.

The programmes are very much research-driven and integrate students early in research projects matched to the level of studies (Bachelor's vs. Master's) and supervised by highly-qualified scientists. The students in the programmes appear bright, active and inspired by the high scientific level and excellent reputation of the programme in the job market. The programmes provide a supportive and fair academic environment with easily approachable and friendly staff. Teaching staff is highly competent and supported by pedagogical and professional training ensuring the suitability of teaching methods. The facilities for teaching are excellent with top-class equipment and sufficient lecture and seminar rooms.

The Bachelor's programme should consider increasing biochemical lab work to complement the domination of chemistry in the lab practicals and both programmes should incorporate AI literacy in their courses. There is also plenty of room and possibilities to enhance internationalisation of the programmes via supporting and encouraging students' participation in international exchange programmes and by revising admission requirements to the Master´s programme to facilitate entry of talented foreign students. Although the programmes generally take good care of the well-being of their students, access to psychological counselling should be improved. The programmes should also consider establishing a specific teacher track with courses developing pedagogical competences.
