Study Engineering in Lithuania

Depending on the branch of engineering you study, you can expect to have a very international career ahead of you. Like most professions, engineering firms are extremely global in their operations. As a young engineer you might find yourself working on projects all around the world. It therefore stands to reason that an international education could help you prepare better than a standard domestic university degree.

Engineering courses at Lithuania are worth considering than any other EU countries because of the variety in options in English and lower costs associated.

It's important to consider which area of engineering study you will specialize in, as they can lead to very different careers. Civil engineers build the structures that define our civilization – bridges, buildings, transport systems. Electrical engineers study how technology can build new products, or develop new processes for manufacturing and design. Or you could design and build planes, space aircraft, robots, medical equipment, or even computer programs.

You can study engineering courses at diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate level. Most highly paid engineering consultants have a postgraduate engineering degree. Some also study joint degrees, combining engineering courses with law, business, computing or even medicine.
