While working in non-formal education, I realised that I wanted to become a teacher, which led me to choose the pedagogy studies at KTU. The programme is well-suited for working professionals with busy schedules, as it allows me to study in my own time and at my own pace. The modules cover a range of perspectives – from didactics and psychology to educational leadership.

As a computer programmer, I became a teacher of computer science, so I decided to deepen my knowledge in pedagogy. It was easy to combine studies and work, as all the classes were delivered remotely. I had to spend more time on written work, but working in a school I quickly found practical applications for all the assignments. I chose to study while already working as a teacher, which is what I am still doing today. Currently, I am preparing for the certification as an expert teacher.

FAQ

All study materials, lectures, practical sessions, and assessments are conducted in Lithuanian.

The key difference lies in what you’ll gain from the studies. If you choose the 1-year (60 ECTS credits) programme, you’ll earn a general teacher qualification. However, if you’re aiming to teach a specific subject, the 2-year (120 ECTS credits) programme might be the better fit – it not only provides the teacher qualification but also allows you to specialise in a subject, giving you the full competence to teach it in schools.

During the studies at KTU, you can choose one of the following specialisations: Mathematics, Physics, Engineering Technologies, Informatics, Chemistry, Music, or English Language.

The 120 ECTS credit Pedagogy Studies programme lasts 2 years. In the first year, students focus on general pedagogical subjects, while the second year is dedicated to developing subject-specific teaching competences.
