Construction
Those who like to see work results immediately, are communicative, think creatively and are into exact sciences can’t go wrong when choosing the Construction study programme at Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija.
This internationally recognized (with the Evalag label) study programme is classical but having highly modern study base (well equipped laboratories of building materials, geodesy, and construction workshops) makes it possible to become a qualified civil engineer, who easily will find a job in the whole world.
Studies at Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija can be combined with work – both in full-time and part-time mode. Individual needs are accommodated on a case-by-case basis.
Why in Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija?
Modern equipment is used for studies: well equipped building materials and geodesy laboratories, as well as construction workshops. The Construction study programme has been awarded the Evalag accreditation mark, which proves the international accreditation of the study programme. This programme is the only one of all construction engineering programmes offered in Lithuanian higher education institutions, which was evaluated by international experts with the highest possible rating.
