Lithuania
The higher education took place in Lithuania in the so-called higher school (lit. aukštesnioji mokykla ). They arose in Soviet Lithuania from the former technical centers and other schools of further education. The students were admitted to secondary school after completing secondary school (nine or ten grades) or Abitur . After three to five years of education, you could acquire the professional diploma by passing the diploma examination. After graduation, graduates with certain specialist preferences were allowed to continue studying at the university. Education was taken into account depending on the course of study and university studies were shortened by one to two academic years (two to four semesters). After regaining independence, the higher schools became independent universities (≈ Kolleg # Lithuania ; lit. Kolegija ) or, after the reorganization and merger, to form faculties of a college.
