A few years ago, the international experts evaluated KTU Master’s degree study programme of Applied Mathematics as unique and attractive not only in Lithuania, but also abroad. The future Masters of Applied Mathematics are studying general subjects and choosing subjects from two groups of modules i.e. finances mathematics, data mining subjects, and optional advanced level subjects of mathematics.
The need for creation and application of mathematical models in various fields of industry, biomedicine, and economics has recently shown a considerable increase. According to the forecasts, after five – ten years such specialists will be demanded throughout the world.
The graduates can work as system analysts, market researchers, analysts-programmers, modelling, and data analysis specialists in modelling, design, information analysis divisions of various companies and institutions, insurance companies, banks, stock exchange markets. Since the aforementioned works are closely related to information technologies, the wages are and will remain one of the highest in Lithuania.
Many graduates from this study programme are working in such companies as “Swedbank Life Insurance SE”, “Mondelez Lietuva Production”, “Barclays Technology Centre Lithuania”, “Callcredit Information Group”, “Softera Baltic”, Vičiūnai Group, and other.
The students who demonstrate high academic results are studying in this programme. Good motivation of students determines a creative and results-oriented environment of the studies that helps to assimilate necessary knowledge and skills.

The bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Applied Mathematics have paved the way for the field of data science. A strong foundation in programming and mathematics is laid during the first year of study. And the knowledge gained in later years becomes meaningful through the application of machine learning models. With such a baggage of knowledge, it is much easier to understand and master new modelling techniques, and to select the most appropriate one based on the available data. I am delighted to choose to study mathematics, not only because of the knowledge I have gained, but also because of the excellent community of the faculty that promotes continuous improvement and cares for every student.
I am glad that I chose to study mathematics, because studying exact sciences helped to develop critical logical thinking, to acquire analytical knowledge, which is very useful both in professional activities and in everyday life. The study of applied mathematics has given me a wealth of fundamental, very widely applied knowledge. I have linked my professional career to financial analysis and investment management. These activities require the ability to analyze a variety of data, understand what factors and how they affect changes in the value of financial instruments. I can confidently say that studying Applied Mathematics has contributed to the success of my professional career.
