Chemical Engineering

Double degree programme with Technical University of Košice, Slovakia

Chemical engineering PhD studies are a traditional, research based, usually four-year, doctoral degree program, which provides:
•A thorough grounding in the fundamental principles of chemical engineering, as well as an intensive research experience;
•A mentoring-intensive environment with co-supervision flexibility, allowing students to work with the outstanding Lithuanian scientist of their field;
•The real-world experience through an experimental and practical assignments, hands-on operation of the modern pilot scale equipment and analytical techniques;
•The accessibility to a modern computer technology enabling the process modelling, simulation and control;

The accessibility to a wide-range of seminars, conferences and scientific workshops.
