Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) is a public university in Kaunas, Lithuania, centred on technology, engineering and the links between research and industry.

Its own pages present it as an institution that brings knowledge, research and business together, and a recent THE world university ranking named it the best technology university in Lithuania.

Alongside these the university offers MBA programmes for people moving into management, pedagogy studies, professional programmes and supplementary courses for those who want a specific qualification or deeper knowledge. The programme search on the admissions site can be filtered by cycle, field group, field and language of instruction, and programmes are taught in both Lithuanian and English.

Outside the classroom, students can take part in Erasmus+ exchanges, join art collectives and student organisations, and work with mentors.

The university also provides financial support and keeps updating its living, study and leisure spaces. Conferences and events at the Santaka Valley and Aula Magna venues, together with ECIU challenges and micro-modules, add research and open-innovation activity to campus life, and lifelong-learning courses are open to people who want to retrain later in their careers.
