Programme overview
This study program is tailored for individuals with a keen interest in aircraft mechanics, aircraft construction, engines, mechanical systems, aerodynamics, UAVs, or satellites, who aspire to pursue a career in the aviation or aerospace industry.
We view innovation in aeronautics as an interdisciplinary endeavour. Your expertise in electronics, mechanics, IT, transportation, aeronautics, or any other engineering discipline will enhance your team’s capabilities and provide a competitive edge.
The objective of this study program is to equip participants with highly specialised knowledge in aeronautical engineering. Graduates will possess interdisciplinary skills, enabling them to independently tackle tasks related to aircraft construction and engine engineering. They will have the ability to engineer, draft, model, and develop new aircraft projects. Furthermore, our graduates can apply their acquired knowledge in the operations of aviation companies, utilising cutting-edge technologies across diverse work environments. They can analyze and creatively address technical, administrative, and legal challenges inherent in aircraft development, production, and operation—a global concern. Graduates will also be adept at assessing the impact and significance of decisions made by engineering professionals in shaping societal development.
What will you learn?
After graduation, you will be able to:
• draw and engineer aircraft mechanical parts and systems with the help of computer modelling software;
• perform calculations of aircraft flight aerodynamic characteristics and assess them;
• analyse aircraft wings and their profile parameters, select optimum numerical values of wing parameters;
• make decisions on the organisation of aircraft technical maintenance and technical performance of works;
• independently perform repair works of various aircraft units;
• understand UAV and CubeSAT technologies;
• understand legal aspects of aircraft engineering and maintenance organisations.
Where can students do an internship?
Professional internships are carried out in companies with the most recent production facilities and technologies in Lithuania and abroad. Students acquire practical skills working with the equipment and technology, and learn about the company management.
Where is it possible to study abroad?
The aviation industry is unquestionably international, and international experience – is important for every specialist aspiring to work in it. As VILNIUS TECH Aviation Institute’s is a member of PEGASUS network students and lecturers can participate in various international cooperation and exchange programmes, providing the possibility for VILNIUS TECH Aviation Institute’s students to gain international experience in foreign higher education institutions, preparing aviation specialists. Acquaintance with the aviation sector abroad, experience of working in a multicultural team and active use of professional English – are only a few advantages of mobility for studies or practice.
What are career opportunities after graduation?
Obtain employment in the fields of aeronautical and aerospace industries: as specialists or senior specialists of various aviation companies; as an aviation mechanics engineer in UAB FL Technics, UAB Avionexpress, UAB Airhub, Ryanair, VSAT aviation unit;
Design satellites, and their systems in companies like: UAB Astrolight; UAB Nanoavionics, UAB Blackswan;
Design UAVs and their systems in companies like: UAB IT logika; UAB UDS; UAB Aviatic MRO; UAB AeroDiagnostika
Continue your studies on a second study cycle.
Student Projects at AGAI
Students at AGAI are encouraged to get involved in various practical projects. Currently, they are participating in workshops with lecturers to revive some of our old aircraft for new life to be used for study and training purposes as models and educational material.
Another great example of a multidisciplinary project completed in joint efforts with lecturers and students at AGAI is a smart UAV for aerial mapping and video monitoring. It joins knowledge and skills of aerodynamics, electronics and aircraft operations to make sure that the UAV does exactly what it is designed to do.
To mark a 100 year anniversary, the Antanas Gustaitis Aviation Institute of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH AGAI) flew their unmanned aircraft over Lithuania and covered a distance of 397 km.
The purpose of the flight over Lithuania was to test the system of the new VILNIUS TECH AGAI unmanned aircraft, to test the communication and communication systems under real conditions and to gain experience in the operation of unmanned aircraft for long distances.
