Advanced studies, provide a holistic understanding of the ecology of energetics, sustainable development, and safety issues, based on the existing knowledge of energy engineering.
Modules provided in the study program allow for applying in-depth theoretical knowledge in advanced energy technologies.
There are members and heads of five professional associations, scientists of the Lithuanian Energy Institute, and representatives of businesses among the lecturers of the program.
The skills of scientific analysis, individual activity, and teamwork allow specialists to express themselves in both fields of scientific research and industrial and business areas that require in-depth creative analysis.
The opportunity to use the scientific base of the department and LEI with the participation of industrial partners creates favorable circumstances for involvement in scientific research, design, or manufacturing activities that require high qualifications.

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.
The competitive, green, and safe energy is the future of Lithuania. In order to achieve the development in the sector of sustainable energy, the diversification of production, using not only various technologies, but also the available primary energy sources, shall be deemed the right choice. The Master studies of Thermal Engineering, which have become solid foundation for doctoral studies, allowed putting the acquired knowledge in practice in many projects of energy production, efficiency improvement, and strategic planning in Lithuania and abroad. There are no doubts that Thermal Engineering studies are the right choice of a promising, ambitious, and innovative European.
