What are the outcomes of this study programme?
Preserving Gediminas Hill, realizing unconventional architectural projects, and constructing a bridge across the widest and swiftest-flowing river are just a few examples of the aspirations of those who seek to change the world. For those dreaming of making a global impact, even a new building contributes to altering the world's landscape.
Throughout history, people have envisioned their own dwellings, from seeking refuge in caves to constructing houses from branches and building bridges across rivers. The evolution of technology has transformed the concept of construction, rendering the notion that a house only requires walls and a roof obsolete. Today, civil engineering stands as a prestigious profession that brings together specialists from various fields, well-versed in constructing solid, tall, and intricate buildings, designing bridges, tunnels, roads, and water supply and cleaning systems.
Civil engineers possess the ability to independently build a durable wall, understanding the elements crucial for its longevity. A proficient specialist meticulously examines every aspect of a building and can elucidate the function of each structural element.
In the realm of modern civil engineering, professionals undertake ambitious projects, such as erecting nearly one-kilometer skyscrapers or constructing multi-story underground structures. They engage in construction projects on artificial islands in the open sea, and their work on impressive buildings serves as a testament to a country's economic prowess.
While architects focus on a building's exterior, civil engineers prioritize its reliability. Their expertise enables them to construct uniquely designed and intricately shaped buildings. No structure can come to fruition without the input of a civil engineer.
This study program imparts knowledge of building and structure design, employing the latest calculation and construction principles, as well as modern construction technologies. Students also learn to conduct engineering research on soils, organize and manage the building and structure design process, evaluate and select reliable technical solutions, and conserve energy resources through the rational use of advanced construction materials.
A modern civil engineer embodies the roles of a mathematician, physicist, chemist, and IT specialist rolled into one. Cutting-edge computer software and powerful computers are employed in the building design process, with engineers creating spatial models of buildings and structures long before construction commences.
The specialization in the Design of Buildings and Structures aims to prepare specialists well-versed in construction mechanics, building and structure design, construction, and their associated production and equipment technologies.

Every country affects everyone differently in its own unique way. This is my fifth month in Lithuania and I would like to share with you my experience here. Since I came here I’ve noticed many different perspectives that helped me to know this country better, such as my University’s staff, my friends, and surroundings.
There is always a challenge when one is going to live abroad regardless of age or personal attitude. It is important to adjust to new society and choose the right path to develop relationships with local people, be aware of all unfamiliar rules and laws, and not to lose oneself in unpredictable course of events. And if you are a student you have to focus twice as much in order to keep pace with studies and feeling comfortable in a new country. However, I can say without any doubts that my first period in Lithuania was not stressful at all. VGTU creates an atmosphere which breaks the ice. For international student as me the main role played International Studies Centre. Due to their committed work students don’t feel much pressure from unexpected life situations connected with their studies and being in Lithuania. Their organized work prevents any frustrating circumstances starting from the moment when student applies for his studies. Even if undesired will occur, the first thought that comes to international student is to go to the International Studies Centre, where administration will support him in any issues. The ISC is the foundation of my experience in Vilnius, the next who influenced my views on Lithuania are my teachers and classmates. University is a society where students spend most of their time and it is important to be surrounded by those who will encourage in everything you do. I like all my teachers and their attitude towards students. There is no stressful tension between us. Lecturers willingly explain everything that we don’t understand and they show enthusiasm to teach us something new. After my first freshman semester I can say that I got some basic knowledge which can move me forward in studies. Speaking about my classmates I’m really glad to have in my class people from other countries as well as Lithuanians. To know somebody from another place in the World is great and to be friends with local people even better. By interacting with Lithuanian students I learn more about the culture and the country. For me it is very important, because it makes me feel as I am not only a foreigner but I’m also a part of Lithuania – the beautiful country with long history and lush green forests. Lithuania welcomed me with its nice picturesque views and old majestic architecture. I enjoyed walking in the Old City in Vilnius and discovering new for myself. Here I met many foreigners who like me were exploring this amazing Baltic country. I noticed that Lithuanians are nice and friendly to foreigners. For those who speak English or Russian it is easy to communicate, because most of Lithuanians know at least two languages. The Lithuanian language itself is a very beautiful musical language, listening to it kindles in me a desire to speak it myself. Learning culture and people’s behavior here definitely added some colors in my life experience. I can talk a long time about Lithuania, however here I shared with you things that influenced my life the most. I appreciate the work which is done by administration in VGTU; it surely helps each student to adjust to a new community. Society in which I spend most of my time creates a positive atmosphere for studies and free time. If the two previous became a “foundation” and a “body”, the culture and beauty of Lithuania is a sparkling cover of my unique experience abroad. I’m glad that the meaningful stage of my life is happened to start here in Lithuania. |

Studying abroad and especially in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, is like a dream come true because it gives me a perfect opportunity to learn what I exactly want to pursue. The university is lively and filled with chances to fulfil my goals. The lecturers are supportive and friendly which makes them quite accessible in studies. The staff members also care for the future career of students and they are always ready to help. International Study Centre staffs members are great to me as they are always helping in my needs and friendly to assist at any time.
People from different cultures and backgrounds are treated with respect and dignity and assisted by guidance and encouragement from the teaching team, as well as supported by excellent resources. Moreover, the university has provided a good study atmosphere for students. All students are enthusiastic, friendly, adorable which I like the most. Furthermore, I suggest to future coming student be a part of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University and you will find no better environment of study than here to achieve your goals of future in career of study. All in all, I am enjoying the student life here and mostly with weather condition of this country which is awesome and cool!! |
