Key Learning Outcomes
Having completed the Light Engineering programme, a graduate will have acquired professional the competencies needed to carry out complex work that requires a fundamental knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics, as well as an applied understanding of material synthesis and characterisation, the operation principles of lasers, photovoltaic and light emitting devices, and practical skills in programming, general lighting design and standard laboratory procedures. Our graduates have technological skills and engineering competencies in the following high-tech fields: understanding optical system operations, analysis and development; knowledge of the operating principles of semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices; understanding of material synthesis and knowledge of the technological processes; understanding of the principles of the operation of modern lasers; and knowledge of modern digital modelling techniques, as well as the software required for process automation and control.
Programme Specific Requirements
- The grades in Physics, Mathematics shall not be lower than 55 per cent of the maximum possible grade.
- The candidates meeting the established criteria are invited to the motivational interview. During the interview, the candidate’s determination to study in the technology field study programme based on experimental works is evaluated. If the interview is evaluated negatively, the candidate is not admitted to the study programme.
In addition, all applicants have to fulfil the general admission requirements.
Why choose this programme?
- Light Engineering is a programme with no close rivals at neighbouring universities within the Baltic region. It combines a practice-oriented approach with shorter studies focused on light technologies, which is among the best developed and fastest-growing high-tech fields in Lithuania.
- Most of the Light Engineering courses are taught by leading Lithuanian professors and scientists who are active in this field.
- The programme offers a unique opportunity to learn practical skills using the modern growth and characterisation equipment available at the National Centre for Physical Sciences and Technology.
|
What comes after?
- Graduates of the programme will have acquired the knowledge and competencies needed to pursue a career in the light technology industry in Lithuania or abroad.
- They will also be able to continue their studies at the Master’s and PhD levels. The nearest postgraduate subjects include laser physics and optical technology, laser technology, material science and semiconductor physics, as well as optoelectronic materials and technologies.

„This programme is really promising for both students and employers because of the wide diversity of skills it provides. It is nice that the programme allows the students to choose between the going deeper into one of specific optoelectronics field or gaining wider, but more basic all-around knowledge. The combination of practice and theory opens ways for both scientific and engineering work.“
Marijus Ambrozas, a student from Lithuania
