Maybe you will be the one to create an artificial heart? Yes – it’s possible here in Lithuania. Modern medicine would be unthinkable without engineering. Medical engineers are at the heart of healthcare innovation: they design artificial organs and assistive devices, develop advanced imaging methods, and create systems that improve diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
Did you know? In Lithuania alone, an average of 115 hip joints are replaced every day with endoprostheses designed and manufactured by medical engineers.
As a graduate, you will be able to:
• Combine knowledge of sciences, anatomy, biomechanics, and engineering to solve medical problems
• Identify challenges in medicine and healthcare, and solve them with modelling, IT, and analytical methods
• Plan and conduct experimental research, analyze data, and use engineering equipment effectively
• Design and develop innovative technologies, devices, and systems to improve healthcare
• Create medical equipment with attention to ethics, sustainability, and societal needs
• Conduct research to advance medical technology and improve existing solutions
• Work creatively, critically, and responsibly while growing as a professional and team player.

Where is it possible to study abroad?
Number of ERASMUS partners across Europe opens opportunities to spend a semester or two, work on Master Thesis in the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, UK, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Poland, Taiwan, South Korea, Portugal, Sweden and many other countries. VGTU is collaborating with the organization ESEM (Educating Students in Engineering and Medicine, www.esem.eu) – more than 15 partner institutions provide online lectures in biomedical engineering, visiting teachers, student workshops and webconferences, thus opening many possibilities to gain experience in the field of biomechanics, medical engineering, and bioengineering.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE
You will have plenty of opportunities to apply and diversity your skills through graduate projects, internships, career programmes, clubs and societies.
What about career opportunities after Bachelor's degree studies?
Medical engineers are in demand across a wide range of industries and institutions, including:
• Hospitals, rehabilitation, and sports medicine centres using advanced medical equipment
• Companies designing and manufacturing medical and rehabilitation technologies
• Quality and certification companies testing medical devices for safety and compliance
• International medical technology firms represented in Lithuania and abroad;
• Orthopaedic companies designing and manufacturing prostheses, orthopaedic footwear, insoles, and splint
• As medical engineers responsible for installing and maintaining complex equipment, training healthcare staff, troubleshooting, and managing production processes — with opportunities to advance into managerial roles.
Further Studies
Graduates may continue their studies at Master’s level.
