Programme overview
What materials will we use to build the houses of the future? The construction industry is resource-intensive, so pre-fabricated building elements are becoming increasingly popular. Instead of traditional steel and reinforced concrete, we are increasingly discussing composite and organic materials, including engineered wood. Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology allows for modeling future structures down to the smallest construction elements, leading to the growing export of advanced products manufactured by Lithuanian construction companies.
In 2023, we updated our study program. It is designed to prepare highly qualified engineers capable of applying advanced digital tools for creating structures and products and their analysis.
During the program’s first semester, you will learn about advanced reinforced concrete and steel structures, innovations in construction product manufacturing technologies, methods for testing construction products and structures, and become more familiar with the finite element method.
In the second part of the program, you will learn more about new composite materials and wood properties and how to ensure the reliability of structural constructions. You will also learn how to strengthen existing structures, learn about the life cycle and durability, and deepen your knowledge in waste management and secondary raw materials recycling technologies, modular construction, regenerative design, and data science for smart buildings.
In addition, you will pay attention to innovation and scientific research, which you can develop together with partners from business companies and faculty scientists.
Funding opportunities
All international students automatically become candidates to receive the Scholarship for International Students, which is assigned for first-year Bachelor or Master students with strong academic records and motivation.
The residents of European Union countries and the global citizens of Lithuanian origin can apply for state-funded study places. This means that all the applicants, who fall into one of the aforementioned categories, will participate in the general admission’s competition for state-funded study places and get the chance to study free of charge, depending on their admission score.
Campus life
The main KTU Campus is within walking distance from the city centre. In the campus, university sports halls and courts, dormitories, shops and recreational areas are all nearby. KTU boasts the active student community, with 6 art societies and over 20 students’ organisations. Our students can choose from 100 weekly sports classes, and join one of 20 sports teams. All of this is free of charge.
Over 40 thousand students study in Kaunas, and of these, around 10% are international students. Lush parks, lively squares, cosy cafes and buzzing cultural life make Kaunas attractive not only as a travel destination but also as a place to live.

If you do not currently hold any English proficiency certificate, the English test can also be conducted by KTU during the admission process.
Eligibility:
Average grade (CGPA) > 60 %
University Bachelor degree certificate:
Undergraduate diploma (or higher) with min. length of 180 ECTS (3 years of studies) is eligible.
Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original.
The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / Russian.
The documents must be legalised (Apostille) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country where the documents were issued. This requirement does not apply for the documents issued in the EU and Belarus, Ukraine.
