The software system – it is software of any volume, from a simple app for a smartphone to a complex computer system, used in almost all modern digital devices to manage them or perform tasks for their users. We already have so many devices that require software, even at home, that the fingers of both hands are not always enough to count them. So, the need for specialists capable of developing software systems is one of the biggest in the market, and software companies still lack such staff. That is why companies are ready to pay a competitive salary to employees who can apply software engineering independently and work in teams, developing, improving, operating, and maintaining software systems for various fields that can be used to solve relevant professional problems.
The studies cover the application of a wide range of modern programming languages and frameworks, the management of the software code versions, the storage of software user data in databases or information systems, the testing of developed software systems, quality assurance and design of software systems in UML that meet user requirements. To develop teamwork skills in the studies, the modern software development methodology “Agile” is applied, cooperation with businesses is ongoing, relevant, safe, and used in practice, web and other software solutions are developed.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to apply software engineering to the development, improvement, operation, and maintenance of software intended for various areas that may be used to solve relevant problems of professional activity.

Financial support
International software companies such as Devbridge Group, NFQ, Nortal, have their own training laboratories at the university, and representatives of these companies are involved in the study process. In addition to regular studies, there is a possibility to get free practical skills in thematic training and joint projects organized by these companies.
The study program is the largest in Lithuania, so here you will find many like-minded people. You will be able to create your own team, run your own projects, get free premises, hardware and support for your business. If you are interested in the latest research achievements, there is an opportunity to join research teams and carry out interesting projects using the latest technical equipment of the faculty.
If you are looking for challenges, there is an opportunity to join a team of collegiate programing. You will prepare and participate in the training sessions, go to the programming camps, participate in The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM ICPC). Our students entered the history of Lithuania, winning 25th in the world in the championship.
An active students’ union at the Faculty of Informatics together with partners organizes large-scale events, such as Infoshow, LanParty, GameJam, CodeJam, etc., every year. Take part and contribute to events that have become a part of the history of the faculty.
According to the statistical data of 2017, salaries of software developers remain among the highest in Lithuania. At the end of the bachelor studies, more than 80% of students work in the field.
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.

BA+ competence blocks offered in KTU Bachelor’s study programmes can be an alternative study plan for:
A student who chooses BA+ competence, acquires the knowledge and skills in an additional study field, and discovers new career prospects. Acquisition of the competence is certified by the issue of KTU certificate and entry in the diploma supplement.
Most of the Devbridge Group programmers have graduated or are still studying in this program. In recent years, we have been watching a growing number of students and noticing their technical knowledge becoming deeper. Due to the high level of the study program, the modern approach of the university and the ability to attract social partners, the skills necessary for the labor market are formed for the students. That is the most important issue that our clients - high quality-oriented US companies - value.
Studies at the Department of Software Engineering at KTU Faculty of Informatics attract the most talented IT students from all Lithuania. Therefore, when studying in the first courses, you can find a lot of like-minded people and join them in different faculty projects or participate in international competitions. It was these acquaintances, the knowledge gained, the practical experience and the support from the faculty that led me to to establish a game development company during my studies.
