Mykolas Romeris University

What Mykolas Romeris University does

Mykolas Romeris University (MRU) is a public higher education institution established in 1990 and headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, operating across three campuses in Vilnius, Kaunas, and Marijampolė. The university delivers bachelor's, master's, doctoral, MBA, MPA, and LL.M. programs through five academic schools — the Law School, Public Security Academy, Faculty of Human and Social Studies, Faculty of Public Governance and Business, and Sūduva Academy — with over 20 study programs taught in English to support international recruitment. Its revenue model is a hybrid of state funding (allocated per enrolled student and on performance metrics), tuition fees from domestic and international students, EU-funded research grants (Horizon Europe, Erasmus+), and student accommodation revenue (monthly dormitory rentals ranging from €80 to €550).

The technology stack is centered on Microsoft 365 (with 100 GB student email storage and Microsoft Entra ID SSO), a Moodle-based virtual learning environment (vma.mruni.eu) with iOS/Android mobile apps, BigBlueButton for live video classes, Microsoft Teams for collaboration, and a BookWhen-powered sports/activity booking system. Supporting services include a Student Self-Service Portal (stdb.mruni.eu), a Research Management System (CRIS) hosting 467 open-access e-books, blockchain-verified Digital Badges on edu.mruni.eu, the MRU Mobile App, and student-facing facilities for psychological counseling, sports, and career services.

Go-to-market is multi-channel: MRU recruits through its official website (mruni.eu), education fairs (e.g., 'STUDIJOS & KARJERA Lietuvoje'), social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), Erasmus+ and bilateral exchange agreements, joint-degree partnerships with foreign universities, alumni networks, and dedicated admissions offices in each campus city. International student flows are channeled via the ERUA alliance and Erasmus+ SMS/SMP programs. MRU's strategic positioning is anchored on its QS #1 ranking in Law in Lithuania (2025), the FISU Healthy Campus Gold certification (unique in Lithuania), and 16 research laboratories under MRU LAB supporting social, humanitarian, and technological sciences.
