Computer Science

The full-time program (with a course load of 30 credits per semester) is offered in two formats – on–campus and online. With on-campus learning, students live and study in Vilnius, attending classes both offline and online. The online format involves distance learning from Monday to Friday during the day, with two to three offline sessions of up to five days throughout the academic year. For online learning, students can be located in any country but must attend the on-campus sessions held on location in Vilnius.

The part-time program is a less intensive form of learning (21–24 credits per semester) with regular online classes during non-working hours and mandatory offline sessions two to three times a year. Students can work or study simultaneously.

WHAT THIS STUDY PROGRAMME IS ABOUT?

We will not surprise anyone when we say that we use various smart devices or come across digital products every day, maybe we have even heard something about digital currencies. You can only be surprised by the fact that all this is related to mathematics in one way or another. The math behind today’s products isn’t terribly complicated once you get the hang of it. It is like the language of modern technology. We all know the alphabet of this language, but not all of us can create new digital products, ensure the safe and perfect operation of new systems.
If you want to change the world and be not only a user, but also a developer of new safe products, associate your activities with the management, processing and analysis of large flows of information, or maybe you are interested in the possibilities of artificial intelligence, then mathematics of modern technologies will open the door to these activities for you. Here you will find a friendly community that will be ready to help you and all the conditions to realize yourself.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

After completion of Mathematics of Modern Technologies first cycle study programme you will be able to apply knowledge to develop new high-tech-based products and services, based on the application of mathematics in different fields of life. You will know general laws of mathematics and informatics, develop your logical thinking, and will be able to work individually and in a team.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE

You will have plenty of opportunities to apply and diversity your skills through graduate projects, internships, career programmes, clubs and societies.

WHAT ARE THE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AFTER GRADUATION?

The programme of Mathematics of Modern Technologies aims to prepare high-level professionals who are not only experts of classical mathematics, but are also capable of applying several fields of science at once.
