In 1990 the Vilnius Civil Engineering Institute became Vilnius Technical University, which on August 22, 1996 was awarded the name of Gediminas, Great Duke of Lithuania.
At present the University includes 8 faculties, Aviation Institute named after A.Gustaitis, International Studies Centre, Centre for Continuous Education, 10 research institutes and 19 laboratories.
The University provides 88 programmes for diploma engineers, undregraduate and graduate (Bachelor and Master) studies in the fields of Humanity Sciences, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, Technological Sciences, Biomedical Sciences and Art Sciences. Every year VGTU is provided with more various facilities. Thus, according to Resolution No 860 of Lithuanian Government, the University has got the building of 9073 m ² in 1/26 Traku str.
All the faculties have the right for Habilitation.This certifies that the University’s scope of education and research is rather versatile and of high academic level. The aim of the University is to do what is mostly helpful for the State.
