Klaipeda University

Welcome to Klaipeda University!

1 January 1991 is the day of the official start of Klaipeda University’s activities. This is the date that granted the city of Klaipeda the status of a university city and that opened up more opportunities for the region of Western Lithuania and its residents to pursue a university education and a career in science.

Today, Klaipeda University is a dynamic, growing multidisciplinary university that over more than three decades has refined the directions of scientific and academic activities. The University boasts two research institutes: the Institute of Baltic Region History and Archaeology and Marine Research Institute, where a large number of researchers concentrate on research and simultaneously teach students. The three faculties – those of Marine Technology and Natural Sciences, of Social Sciences and Humanities, and of Health Sciences – are the divisions where academic spirit predominates and scientific projects are developed.
