Production Engineering

Access to professional activity

Graduates of the Production Engineering study programme will be able to work in production companies as technologists-programmers, capable to work with modern technologies; foremen, production managers, capable to organize the production process, understanding the importance of modernizing production processes, capable to select, assemble and adjust new equipment. The shortage of these specialists is felt in the innovative manufacturing sector, which is based on advanced technologies and has potential for development.

Access to further study

Graduates can continue their studies in Lithuanian and foreign higher education institutions in mechanical and electronic engineering study fields second cycle study programmes.
