The MSc in Thermal Engineering gives me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of energy processes, to understand the control of thermal processes, and to find innovative solutions for the energy system. It offers a broad perspective – if you are interested in technology, energy and innovation, it will begin to broaden your competences.
Thermal engineering has always been a relevant and promising career path in the ever-changing energy sector. This study programme is distinguished by its comprehensiveness, providing a wide range of knowledge in the context of energy and the application and integration of renewable technologies. I am currently pursuing my career in the Lithuanian Heat Suppliers Association, contributing to solutions for improving the efficiency of heat suppliers’ economy throughout Lithuania.
As the head of an engineering company, I can confidently say that thermal engineering is one of the most sought-after and fastest-growing fields in industry today. Through our long-term cooperation with KTU, we have seen that this study programme prepares specialists who not only have a solid theoretical foundation, but also a broad approach to technological solutions. In particular, the company’s employees who have graduated from the Master’s programme stand out.
All modules are available in Lithuanian only, including lectures, assignments and exams.
The work of a thermal engineer is varied and dynamic. It combines both computer-based tasks and practical challenges on a construction site or in an operating company. A degree in thermal engineering opens up opportunities to become a thermal systems designer, construction manager, operations specialist, consultant, expert or even company director.
Yes, there is a growing demand for thermal engineers who are responsible for optimising and reducing the use of energy resources. This is particularly important in the context of the increasing global focus on climate change and energy efficiency. The field also has a direct link to new technologies and innovations, which is why thermal engineering studies and jobs can now offer many opportunities both in Lithuania and abroad.
