In 2018, Aleksandras Stulginskis University and the Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences are integrated into Vytautas Magnus University. Vytautas Magnus University (Vytauto Didžiojo universitetas) is one of 16 universities included in U-Multirank for Lithuania. Vytautas Magnus University is a small public university located in Kaunas with 8267 students enrolled (2017 data or latest available). It was founded in 1922. With regard to the scope of its subjects and degree programmes offered, the Vytautas Magnus University is a broad institution. It offers programmes in foreign languages. It is characterised by a low percentage of international students. The graduation rate of Vytautas Magnus University is 68,97 (bachelors) and 90,63 (masters). As made clear by its sunburst chart – a snapshot illustration of the university’s performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions – the Vytautas Magnus University is strongest in International Orientation. Its overall profile shows top performance across various indicators, with 6 ‘A’ (very good) scores overall.

U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .
