Construction Engineering

The shortage of engineering specialists in Lithuania has approached a critical threshold, becoming a serious obstacle to economic growth. Undoubtedly, this is one of the most promising professions of our time, now that the Industry 4.0 revolution has begun. Production volumes are growing, industry is becoming increasingly digitalised, and companies are undergoing robotisation processes. Naturally, someone has to operate and maintain all this equipment and control the production processes. The demand for engineers is growing every day in all regions. This is particularly evident in Klaipėda, as specialists are snapped up while still studying.

Graduate career indicators

Based on the 2025 graduate career indicators, 6 months after graduation, 90% of Construction Engineering programme graduates are in employment, and the average monthly gross income of those employed under an employment contract reaches €2,207.83.

What makes the programme distinctive

KVK is the only institution in the Western Lithuania region offering college-level studies in Construction Engineering. Graduates of the Construction study programme work in various construction businesses, thereby contributing to the development of the built environment in the Klaipėda region. Students are given the opportunity to complete their placement at certified companies – leaders in their field – carrying out construction works on a variety of sites.

During such placements, employers rate students’ preparation highly – students are often hired by the companies once the placement ends. Both commissioned applied research and experimental research are carried out. Together with companies, students prepare final projects, which are later implemented.

Students at the Institution contribute to the implementation of EU Directive 2010/31 and have been designing energy-efficient (passive) buildings for several years now.

Study environment – Construction Engineering

Study environment

Professional bachelor’s students of the Construction Engineering study programme study in a modern environment adapted to practical skills. The study process takes place in specialised laboratories and classrooms, where students can not only gain theoretical knowledge but also apply it in practice by carrying out laboratory work, project tasks and research. Students have access to the Construction Works, Building Materials, Chemistry and Physics laboratories, as well as contemporary Computer, Computer-Aided Design and Building Information Modelling (BIM) classrooms.

Professional competences are also developed in specialised spaces, such as the Cadastral Surveying Lecture Hall, the GIS Competence Centre and the Low-Energy Smart Building Research Competence Centre, where students work with advanced technologies, measuring equipment and modern software. This learning environment creates favourable conditions for future construction engineers to acquire practical skills and prepare for real-world challenges in construction, design and infrastructure development.

Career

Graduates will be able to pursue careers as construction engineers: site managers, technical construction supervisors and quantity surveyors, in various construction and design companies as well as state organisations. Will have an excellent opportunity to set up private businesses.
