Data Science and Engineering

The first and only one in Lithuania. This program, which combines the fields of data science and data engineering into one, arguably is the most promising 21st-century study program, that has earned such a title. A strong mathematical foundation and IT knowledge are a great tandem for those in a hurry to keep up with the changes in the digital age.

It is no secret that the amount of data generated daily is enormous and growing daily. What to do with zettabytes of data to keep it from becoming a digital recycle bin? Put them in the hands of a smart data scientist or data engineer. Such specialists are currently in great demand in the market, so high career prospects are guaranteed.

If you dream of exciting challenges, promising development, and a competitive salary, you want to master machine learning methods and create artificial intelligence systems – this is the place for you.

Where to worlds merge

In the past, it was common for some professionals to work only with certain parts of the data cycle. However, you, future professionals in the blended math and computer sciences, will be able to work with data collection, storage, and management, tailoring it all to business.

Skills

Knowledge from a whole new angle

The methods of data science and data engineering used in information systems are a completely new model. Therefore, by studying here, you will develop your mathematical and algorithmic thinking, you will be able to manage data and its most advanced databases, you will know the technologies of artificial intelligence.

Infrastructure

Latest software

You may not have heard of names like SAS, MATLAB, SQL, R or PYTHON yet. But for data scientists, these are the hallmarks of the highest quality. Here you will learn how to use it all.

Possibilities

Innovations for Europe

In 2025, the data traffic in the world will rise to 175 zetabytes. What does this mean? This means that hundreds of billions of euros are earmarked for data management and their professionals – Europe is already preparing to recruit our future graduates.

Career

Number of jobs keeps is growing

It is not for nothing that the profession of data scientist is called one of the best in the world. Forecasts suggest that by 2025, the need for these professionals will double at least.

Product and service development

Are you interested in creating real products and services while studying? It is now possible to test yourself by getting involved in a product development project (PDP). During the project, you will work in teams, collaborating with KTU researchers and social partners. While solving current, relevant problems you will improve your teamwork, project management, and problem-solving skills, deepen professional knowledge and expand your career opportunities.

 

Career

Your knowledge will allow you to:

– Find and analyze various sources of information and data.
– Create mathematical models of real systems, compare them with each other and interpret the results.
– Develop algorithms and applications, use software to create various data models.
– Identify problems in information systems and choose appropriate methods to solve them.
– Analyze, plan, model and forecast business activities.
– Design information systems and databases.
