Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) is a public technical university in Kaunas, Lithuania, founded in 1922 and Lithuania's only member of the ECIU University alliance. Described by Times Higher Education's latest rankings as Lithuania's strongest technical university, KTU teaches 26 English-medium Bachelor's programmes across engineering, informatics and computing for the 2026 intake, on one campus with 12 dormitories and 9 faculties.
KTU's main Kaunas campus is organised around nine faculties — including the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Design, Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Faculty of Informatics that run the eight programmes profiled here — alongside eight research institutes and nine research centres. The university runs an Artificial Intelligence Excellence Centre responsible for coordinating KTU's AI strategy, a Cyber Security Centre of Excellence, and FabLab Kaunas, described by KTU as the region's most contemporary electronics-technology centre with 18 state-of-the-art teaching laboratories. KTU is also the founder of two integrated research-study-business 'valleys' — Santaka and Nemunas — that bring university labs and industry partners onto shared campus sites. Day-to-day student life runs through 18 student organisations, 6 art groups and the KTU Activated Sports and Wellness Centre, which offers 10 types of sports training, plus the university's own Technologija publishing house. KTU traces its origin to the technical faculties of the University of Lithuania (founded 16 February 1922), operated as Kaunas Polytechnic Institute (KPI) from 1950-1990, and regained university status under its current name in 1990; more than 157,000 graduates have completed studies there since 1922. Today the university enrols more than 9,000 students — about 6,600 at Bachelor's level, 2,000 at Master's level and 320 doctoral candidates — of whom roughly 6.5% (around 590 students) are international, drawn from more than 70 countries including India.

Accommodation
KTU operates 12 dormitories across its Kaunas campus; Dormitory No. 5 has been designated an International Residence since 2013, and international students also commonly live in Dormitories No. 2, 3, 7 and 8. Official pricing lists single rooms (available in Dormitories No. 2, 5 and 10) from EUR 195.75 to EUR 300.67 per month, and double rooms (Dormitories No. 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 10) from EUR 109.62 to EUR 253.69 per month, with the exact price depending on building condition, room type and shared-facility arrangement. A refundable deposit of EUR 160-330 is required, and an optional bedding service (pillow, blanket and bed-linen set, changed weekly) costs EUR 15/month. The accommodation fee is billed monthly through KTU's Academic Information System and covers electricity, heating, water and internet access. Students should confirm current room availability and exact per-building pricing with KTU's Student Accommodation Centre before travel.
Daily living support
KTU's own materials do not list dedicated Indian grocery or restaurant partnerships near its Kaunas campus, and Kaunas has a smaller Indian and South Asian community than Vilnius or larger Western European student cities. Dormitory residents cook in shared kitchens included with their room, and KTU's wider student-life materials point to Kaunas's general café and restaurant scene rather than any campus-specific dietary programme. International students who rely on Indian groceries or cooking staples should expect to source spices and specialty ingredients from international-aisle sections of larger Kaunas supermarkets or plan trips to Vilnius, and should connect with KTU's international student community (including ESN KTU and any informal Indian-student groups) after arrival for current, first-hand guidance.
Safety and support
Lithuania is an EU and NATO member state, and Kaunas is generally regarded as a safe, walkable city, with the nationwide emergency number 112 valid for police, fire and ambulance services. New international students are supported through KTU's Welcome Week orientation programme, which covers the Lithuanian study system, residence-permit steps, healthcare, accommodation and intercultural-communication guidance alongside campus tours, and through a mentor/buddy system run jointly by ESN KTU (Erasmus Student Network) and the KTU Students' Union, which pairs newcomers with current students for their first weeks. As with any city, students should take standard personal-safety precautions and confirm current guidance directly with KTU's International Studies Office on arrival. KTU's International Studies Office (Studentų g. 50, Student Info Center, LT-51368 Kaunas; international@ktu.lt) handles admissions queries and is open to visitors on working days from 13:00-17:00, alongside an online 'chat with current students' feature on the admissions site and Study@KTU student ambassadors who answer prospective-student questions directly. New arrivals join a Welcome Week orientation covering the study system, residence permits, healthcare enrolment, accommodation and campus tours, supported by mentors trained through ESN KTU (Erasmus Student Network) and the KTU Students' Union, plus a KTU Exchange Counsellor programme and cooperation with the Kaunas IN city agency on integration support. KTU's International Relations Office maintains cooperation agreements with more than 350 higher-education institutions across 50 countries, supporting Erasmus+ exchange and mobility options once enrolled.
