The Vehicle Engineering curriculum consists of many practical tasks with a variety of problem-solving techniques. A wide range of career opportunities opens up for the graduates of this programme, especially abroad, as vehicle engineering is constantly evolving, with the emergence of new electric vehicles, sustainable solutions and intelligent systems.
Studying vehicle engineering has helped me to develop strong engineering skills that are now useful in satellite design. In my first year, I joined the GIFTed Talent Academy, which got me even more involved in activities related to my studies. This encouraged me to look for new opportunities, and so in 2019, I started an internship at NASA Research Centre, which has helped me a lot in my career.
As vehicles and their design and manufacturing processes become more complex, the need for vehicle engineers is growing. KTU alumni are distinguished by their technical training and excellent application of theory to the design of vehicle components.
This programme is conducted exclusively in Lithuanian and there are no alternative language options for lectures, coursework or assessments.
Yes, the need for these professionals is increasing as transport is one of the biggest areas undergoing change. By gaining knowledge of transport engineering and the ability to apply the latest solutions, you’ll be contributing to the future of transport. Your work in developing or improving vehicles, systems and components can help ensure the safe, fast, economical and environmentally friendly movement of people and goods.
