Testimonials

This study programme helps you to deepen your knowledge of IT and understand how digitisation works. In lectures, we put technology into practice and analyse systems. What I liked most is that theory is always linked to practice. The analysis of real IT projects, discussions with the lecturers and various assignments give you an insight into how things work in the real world, not just in theory.

During my Master’s studies, I expanded my expertise in systems architecture design, analytical methods, and project management. Studying Digital Transformation and System Architectures best suited my professional needs and interests. After graduating, my career changed from a junior systems analyst to a project manager. The knowledge I gained during my studies has definitely contributed to this career path.

Masters studies are an opportunity to deepen your knowledge, find solutions, experiment and understand how to justify your opinions. These are important qualities that are expected at work, especially when a professional wants to move up the career ladder. KTU graduates stand out not only in the Lithuanian context but also abroad, as they are trained to be excellent product managers and analysts.

FAQ

Students enrolling on this programme must be fluent in Lithuanian as all teaching, coursework and assessment is conducted in this language.

No, a bachelor’s degree in the computing sciences subject group is not required. A bachelor’s degree in any discipline is sufficient, but if it is not related to engineering, technology, mathematics or the physical sciences, one of the following two conditions must be met: at least 30 credits in informatics, informatics engineering or mathematics, or at least one year of significant work experience in a field related to the study programme.

The Digital Transformation and System Architectures programme is worth choosing because it develops analysis, modelling and decision-making skills that are beyond the reach of even the most sophisticated modern artificial intelligence models. In addition, the study process emphasises practical knowledge and skills: all study modules include individual or team projects and the programme has practitioner lecturers. Despite its depth, the programme has been successful with students from a wide range of undergraduate backgrounds.
