Programme Structure
The Materials Physics study programme combines fundamental physics with experimental research and advanced materials science, equipping students with:
- problem-solving, critical thinking, scientific communication, and the ability to work independently and in international research teams;
- advanced knowledge of solid-state physics, nanomaterials, thin films, spectroscopy, material characterisation, and experimental methods;
- experience using modern laboratory equipment and data analysis tools for materials testing, modelling, and research applications;
- a mandatory research internship where students conduct experimental work and apply theoretical knowledge in academic or industry laboratories.
Admission requirements
Funding opportunities
All international students automatically become candidates to receive the Scholarship for International Students, which is assigned for first-year Bachelor or Master students with strong academic records and motivation.
The residents of European Union countries and the global citizens of Lithuanian origin can apply for state-funded study places. This means that all the applicants, who fall into one of the aforementioned categories, will participate in the general admission’s competition for state-funded study places and get the chance to study free of charge, depending on their admission score.
