– Organisation and management of technical maintenance;
– Assessment of technologies and designing of production;
– Automation of processes for improvement of production efficiency.
The study program prepares highly qualified specialists for the industry where constantly developed production technologies require people, to have broad competencies, related to the organization and management of production. Graduates of the study program can create and manage new technologies, create strategies for the company’s activity, and make decisions that determine the results of the company’s activity.

Knowledge acquired during studies can be applied by organising commercial activity, optimising technological processes or planning a long-term strategy of a company.
The acquired knowledge of management and teamwork, as well as practical skills will allow postgraduates to feel confidently in the production organisation and begin an independent career.
According to the data provided by the Department of Statistics of the Republic of Lithuania, there are over 7,500 entities, working in the field of production and this number is constantly increasing. The start-ups and already existing companies have a huge demand for the highly qualified engineers who are able to organise activity, as well as initiate and manage projects of production.
The latest technologies and equipment are used in the study process, for example, 3D printers EOS Formiga P110 or Objet 30, as well as software SCIIL, which allow providing the required amount of knowledge and competences for the students.
Production Engineering is a study programme for active people who are able to change quickly according to the changing environment, find optimal solutions, and assume responsibility for the company’s performance indicators.
Student’s competencies:
– To solve atypical, undefined production engineering problems, to select substantiated solutions using modern methods and techniques;
– To assess positive and negative aspects of new methods and technologies, incomplete and technically incomprehensive information, understanding social, environmental, and commercial conditions and restrictions;
– To make engineering solutions when facing problems that are not clearly defined;
– To plan, prepare and conduct analytical calculations, modeling, and experimental research, to understand and critically assess the obtained results, to compare them with practical experience and the results provided in the publications and provide specific conclusions and generalizations.
Student’s skills:
– Able to creatively apply innovations, and develop ideas and methods for new products and their production processes;
– Able to apply production engineering knowledge in solving qualitative and quantitative problems, using innovative methods and techniques;
– Able to relate the impact of technological solutions to their economic effects;
– Able to work independently and in a team, to present personal and other ideas, to provide arguments for these ideas, to propose solutions, and to lead a team consisting of representatives of various disciplines and levels.
– Organisation and management of technical maintenance;
– Assessment of technologies and designing of production;
– Automation of processes for improvement of production efficiency.
– Management of production projects;
– Management of the production company’s division;
– Development and management of rational and substantiated solutions for efficient operations of the division.
– Development of the company’s operational strategy;
– Management of the organisation;
– Making and implementing production development policy.
– Performance of scientific research works with appropriate application of theoretical models, experimental/laboratory equipment and machinery, and announcement of the results;
– Implementation of experimental development projects and dissemination of results;
– Participation in expert, educational activities, and preparation of specialists.
As production processes evolve, computers, electronics, digital control and automation are increasingly used in all the production areas; therefore, there is an increasing need for highly qualified service personnel, working in the field of engineering. This applies not only to the organisations, developing mass production, but also small and medium-sized enterprises, using modern technologies, which often do not develop their own product, but work on the basis of provided orders. There are expectations in the market that graduates of Production Engineering studies will become wise specialists who will be able to comprehend and master these technologies, apply the university’s knowledge in practice, work in a team and who will not be afraid to adopt decisions and reason them
The Master’s degree study programme “Production Engineering” provides an opportunity to improve knowledge obtained during the Bachelor studies both from the theoretical and practical perspective. This is very important during the preparation of the future production engineering specialists. The postgraduates of this study programme are very marketable in the modern labour market – not only in Lithuania, but on a global scale. Both theoretical and practical activities are well combined in the Production Engineering study programme, during which the obtained knowledge can be used during the internship, performed in the companies. I chose this study programme because I wanted to improve my knowledge which I acquired during the Bachelor studies. My acquired knowledge allowed me to get a job in a company, having long-term experience in the field of metalworking which majority of production is exported to the Western European countries.
