Master in Applied Informatics

The aim of the Applied Informatics programme is to prepare broad-minded highly qualified information technology (IT) specialists, capable of:

• performing analysis of (big) data (text, signals, multimedia, etc.) by applying data mining techniques and tools, designing, developing, and deploying data analytics solutions;
• formalizing, modeling, and simulating complex systems and business processes, designing and deploying artificial intelligence-based systems and applications;
• performing R&D activities in an industrial or academic setting, pursuing a doctoral degree in Lithuanian and foreign universities and research institutions.

Graduates of the study programme will be able to:

• Apply knowledge of the design and implementation of innovative artificial intelligence-based systems in different domains;
• Apply knowledge of advanced (emerging) IT techniques for the development, deployment, and maintenance of business IT systems, estimate their demand, impact, and relevance to users, enterprise,s and organizations;
• Perform interdisciplinary R&D in data analysis and modeling and apply research results in practical applications;
• Perform interdisciplinary R&D in systems and business processes analysis and modeling, apply research results in practical applications;
• Analyse and process language, multimedia, and business data;
• Apply parallel programming skills for the development of concurrent distributed and multi-core/-processor systems;
• Design innovative multiplatform services and applications, integrating intelligent, adaptive, and Cloud technologies;
• Clearly and convincingly present problems and suggested solutions to experts and non-experts, using ground knowledge, reasoning, relevant presentation tools, media, and methods, in a second language, if required;
