The intention of this idea – to conduct a survey among VGTU undergraduates and according to survey results to provide problematic study quality areas. It is more than ten years when Bologna Process lasts in Europe. The Process stimulates European Universities to make a deeper look at study quality which is one of the most actual present problems of both Lithuania and other European Union countries. Main goals of Bologna Process are: to create European Higher Education Area, provide Europe with a broad, high-quality and advanced knowledge base, and ensure the further development of Europe as a stable, peaceful and tolerant community. Following this concept VGTU which was top second university in Lithuania in the year 2010 traces to milestones held by Bologna Process. The article is based on survey conducted among VGTU undergraduates. The goal of the survey: to analyse problematical areas of undergraduate studies and professors. The aim of this article – to identify these problematical areas and provide with survey data and interpretation. Article in Lithuanian
