Civil Engineering

To preserve the Gediminas Hill, to implement the strangest architecture projects, to build a bridge across the widest and most rapidly flowing river are only a few examples of dreams of those, who want to change the world. If you dream to change the world, you can do it this way, as any new building already changes the world's face.

People have always dreamed of their own accommodation: ancient people found shelter in caves, their progeny built houses from branches, and built bridges across rivers.

The advancement of technologies has changed the understanding of construction works, and the conviction that a house needs only walls and a roof has become obsolete. Today, civil engineering is a prestigious profession that unites specialists of various fields, who are knowledgeable of methods to construct a solid, high and complex building, are able to design bridges, tunnels and roads, water supply and cleaning systems.

Civil engineers are able to independently built a solid wall, as they know what is needed for the wall's longevity. A good specialist examines every inch of any building and is able to explain any structural element's function.

Modern civil engineers implement the craziest projects - build almost one kilometer skyscrapers or dozen-storey underground structures, carry out construction works in the open sea on artificial islands, plan and build bridges. Impressive buildings also demonstrate the country's economic power.

Engineering geodesy, Structural mechanics, Buildings architecture and structures, Building construction technology, Masonry structures, Reinforced concrete structures, Foundation engineering, Environmental geotechnics, Dynamics and stability of buildings.

What you'll learn:

Some key abilities and knowledge that Civil Engineering study programme helps students develop and acquire include:

• The ability to design buildings and structures, applying the newest calculation and construction principles, the newest construction technologies;
• The ability to carry out engineering research and evaluation;
• The ability to select reliable technical solutions and strategies;
• The ability to design, organize and manage construction works processes, to reasonably utilize construction materials and energy resources, minimize costs, to carry out construction qualitative assessment;
• The ability to evaluate materials, structures research data, to select the appropriate calculation methos, to prepare building structural part's project and supervise its implementation, to apply the newest computer building structures design software;
• The ability to manage building design processes, applying building information modelling (BIM) principles;
• The ability to investigate buildings and their structural condition, ensure fire protection, civil and labour safety, new construction materials and structure exploitation;
• The ability to analyze geotechnical research, geotechnical design and construction tasks, applying technical and technological solutions, to organize and manage project and construction management processes.

The bechelors of civil engineering are acquire all skills necessary for practical work and they are ready for independent professional activities. They can start practical activities in construction and design companies, expert bureaus, departments of ministries, town and regional municipalities or can continue their master studies.

4 years (8 semesters), internship included in the programme. Graduation is finalized with the defense of Final project
