Vilnius Academy of Arts

Faculty of Kaunas

Lithuania has an old tradition of educating its architects. The first department of architecture was founded back in 1793 at Vilnius University. Among these, the present-day Department of Architecture of Vilnius Academy of Arts and its program stand out through the integration of general university and speciality (and related engineering fields) subjects with thorough studies of arts. The methodology of teaching architecture is anchored on the connection of general university subjects, subjects in the architectural and engineering field and visual expression. The Bachelor’s and Master’s degree study program Architecture has been taught by the Department of Architecture since 1995. In 2012, the study program Architecture received an unconditional notification by the European Commission in Brussels under Article 21(7) of the Directive 2005/36/ EC Qualifications of Architects. The Bachelor’s program is focused on studies in its main field of architecture, and the graduation leads to the award of Bachelor of Architecture qualification degree. It also includes study subjects embracing a wider area (which provide broader intellectual background, not immediately connected to the content of major studies), they are set by the school and selected by individual students. The earned academic qualification title leads to careers with architectural design firms, state and municipal territorial planning institutions, and qualifies the graduates, under the guidance of a specialist (project manager), to the development of architectural projects for a range of complexity of buildings and their environment. According to the procedures set forth by the Lithuanian Government, the alumni may seek a qualification certificate of project manager after three years of professional practice, subsequently, they can set up their own business of architectural design.
