Food Technologies is a branch of food science encompassing a wide range of innovative, technological, engineering and economic solutions for developing and producing food products. Food technologists are not only able to develop and produce healthy, safe and nutritious food products, but must also know how to process, preserve, ferment, package and store food so that the products retain all their nutritional properties for as long as possible.
The Food Technologies study programme continuously introduces nutritional innovations and the latest technologies, which help improve the composition of food products and their availability. Working in modern laboratories, students have the opportunity to create new food products not yet seen on the market, analyse their composition, and experiment with taste, texture and aroma characteristics.
Based on the 2025 graduate career indicators, 6 months after graduation, 66.67% of Food Technologies programme graduates are in employment, and those employed under an employment contract earn an average gross monthly income of €2,156.26.
KVK’s Food Technologies study programme is the only one in Western Lithuania training food industry specialists with higher education. The Food Technologies study programme places huge emphasis on innovation, the latest technologies and sustainability aspects, encouraging students to think about the environmental impact of food production, social responsibility issues and ethical business standards.
