According to the information provided by KTU Department of Studies, 37 state-funded places in technological, 21 – in social sciences, 20 – in natural sciences study programmes are still available for qualified applicants.
“Research reveals that the countries with a larger population of science doctors and masters are more advanced in high technologies, are developing more high added-value products and services. Of course, this factor influences the economy of these countries overall”, says Dr Andrius Vilkauskas the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Design.
According to him, the companies, which employ masters and doctors of science, are more open to innovation, are keeping up with the newest research and knowledge, and are closely collaborating with universities.
Research from Georgetown University (USA) reveals that the salary of masters is 0,8 times higher than that of bachelors and the unemployment rate of masters is less by 1 per cent. Similar tendencies are perceived in Europe.
KTU offers 23 Master’s programmes in English in a variety of fields. With the unique MA+ study model, we are the first in Lithuania to respond to the needs of the new generation, society and job market by providing the opportunity to model your studies the way you want it.
