One of the best technical universities in Lithuania.

VGTU is one of the best technical universities in Lithuania. They provide many field of studies for students and good environemnet for studies at all. Moreover, its International office provides many opportunities to study or doing internship abroad, thus have cooperation with many international universities around the world. Thanks to VGTU, I got a summer internship 2019 in Belgium and received good feedback there and, at the moment, I am studying in Estonia by bilateral agreement. I especially want to note teachers staff of the department where I study. They are good specialists and share necessary experience during lectures which can be useful for the future job. Furthermore, sometimes they send us actual vacancies and give recommendations to some companies who are ready to consider students' applications. For me personally this university "opened a window of life". I have met a lot of people from other countries, learned new things and got valuable life experience.
