Master+ is a unique model within a chosen MSc programme
The Master+ model offers either to masterpiece in the chosen discipline by choosing the Field Expert track or to strengthen the interdisciplinary skills in addition to the main discipline by choosing the Interdisciplinary Expert track providing a choice of a different competence to compliment the chosen discipline and achieve a competitive advantage in one’s career.
Students of these study programmes can choose between the path of Field Expert and Interdisciplinary Expert. Selection is made in the academic information system. Each path (competence) consists of three subjects (18 credits) allocated as follows: 1 year 1 semester (autumn) – first subject (6 credits), 1 year 2 semester (spring) – second subject (6 credits), 2 year 3 semester – third subject (6 credits). A student, who chooses a path of the Field Expert, deepens knowledge and strengthens skills in the main field of studies. The one, who chooses a path of the Interdisciplinary Expert, acquires knowledge and skills in a different area or field of studies. Competence provides a choice of alternative additional subjects.
Acquisition of the competence is certified by the issue of KTU certificate and entry in the appendix to the Master’s diploma. In addition, students can acquire an international certificate (details are provided next to each competence).
Competences are implemented by KTU lecturers – experts in their area – and high level business and public sector organizations; their employees deliver lectures, submit topics for the student’s theses, placement-oriented tasks for the projects, etc.
Plenty of opportunities await during the studies. I personally believe that to achieve something, first you need to make the step forward, accept the challenges, explore as much as possible while staying motivated and participating in every event. "If my mind conceives it and my heart believes it, I know I can achieve it" – this is my motivational statement. This programme and the support of the faculty members made it possible to achieve!
The progamme equips students with a variety of competences that contribute to a unique profile of manager and business professional who can be successful in very different organizational settings. Thanks to such a diverse portfolio of competences combined with cross-cultural management skills I am able to offer our customers and partners optimal solutions, provide business consultations that allow to grow and maintain the leader‘s positions in the Baltic region.
"Leap forward" is probably the best way to describe my experience at the programme. The studies gave me world-class knowledge and systemic understanding of modern business management. It was of a great practical use for my daily working life and career. This experience was one of my best investment decisions ever made - not only financially, but also in terms of making friendships, becoming part of a strong professional network and having a great sense of personal growth.
