The Programmable Automation Systems bachelor’s degree programme has been awarded the prestigious Investors’ Spotlight quality label, which officially confirms that the programme meets the expectations of Lithuanian and foreign companies and investors, and that it is a leader in the training of programmable automation systems specialists in Lithuania.
They say, trying something once is better than reading about it a hundred times. Therefore, you will have the possibility to “try your future workplace on” for three consecutive semesters. The unique composition of the study programme will give you a chance to complete an extended internship at production companies.
Out active cooperation with companies allowed us to review and formulate the content of studies so that you could receive the certificates related to occupational safety.
Besides the programming, it is important to know how to implement your idea from zero. During the lectures of the “Product Development Project”, you will learn about teamwork, creation of innovations, business establishment and proper communication. These competencies will allow you to understand the process of project implementation even for complex products.
At the end of your studies, you will face the representatives of real companies. They will submit the topics for your final degree projects. Your communication will begin during the studies – KTU social partners participate in the process of improvement of the university’s studies and internships; their active advice helps the students to make an informed choice of their career path.
Drawing and design using “AutoCAD” or “SolidWorks” software will become your mastered skills. However, that is not all. You will be able to programme various equipment (for example, CNC machinery), have knowledge of hyperphysical systems, the Internet of Things, learn about artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
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.
Your knowledge will enable you to do the following:
