KTU rectorEugenijus Valatka
I would like to thank you for choosing KTU and I appreciate your trust in our University and the education it provides.

You have also heard that the University means competence. There is no doubt that by studying here, you will develop skills valuable for professionals in Lithuania and abroad. Fearlessly take part in student leisure and career programmes, with which many people have already reached inspiring goals.
I am sure you will meet interesting, intelligent, educated, creative people and those with a flair for business. All of them have developed critical thinking and they wish to make the decisions of tomorrow. KTU aims to gather active, intellectual and positive knowledge workers that are essential for success in technology-driven industries.

Study module
Study programme is made of study modules that are taught for one semester. A study module may include various combinations of lectures, laboratory work, practice, seminars, the student’s individual work, scientific research, design work or other type of work.Study modules may be mandatory, alternative (selected from a list), gen-eral and optional (from the list of all University modules). Studies of each module are completed by an evaluation of the students-knowledge and skills – an examination or a different form of final assessment.
Assessment system
University measures students’ results by in-termediate assessments. Final grade is the sum of the results of intermedi-ate assessments and the final assessment.A student is allowed to participate in the final assessment only if all in-termediate assessments were submitted.
Study credit
Study workload is measured in study credits. Study credit is a unit for assessing study results and student’s working time. 1,600 hours of one year of studies correspond to 60 credits. One study credit is equal to one credit of European credit transfer and accumulation system (ECTS).
Organisation of studies
Find your timetable, assessment evaluation and other relevant information aboutstudies in the Academic Information System (AIS).

Some futuristic visions may hold bright and unnerving feelings, many discuss about the future encounter of smart technologies on our society. In my opinion, one of the main tasks of our University today and in the future is to develop and create the synergy of modern technologies and the community. Also, discover the most advanced methods to solve Earth‘s and society‘s significant problems.
