Students’ subject learning outcomes are assessed using criteria ten-point assessment scheme. Respectively, one or several assessment criteria for study achievements are formulated. Assessment criteria are the basis for preparation of knowledge evaluation tasks of various forms, because the execution of the latter allows the drawing conclusions about the level of achievement of the learning outcomes. Assessment procedure, assessment system and assessment criteria are based on the principles of consistency, reliability, clarity, usefulness and impartiality. For the assessment of student’s study subject achievement, accumulative (learning outcomes are assessed by means of intermediate knowledge assessments) or collegial (in case of graduation paper, students are examined by a competent commission consisting of scientists, professional practitioners, and representatives of social partners) assessment is used.
The courses related to the Software Systems are taught by 1 Professor and 13 PhDs and foreign language professionals-practitioners, who continuously improve their competences in traineeships abroad, actively participate in international projects, carry out scientific research, deliver presentations at international conferences, lecturing at universities of applied sciences abroad, write articles in international scientific journals, and prepare methodological resources.
General courses and courses related to the field of IT are taught by practitioners who work in public and private sector organisations and share their experience with students.
There were 11 foreign lecturers in 2020 – 2023 academic year, doing research teaching students. Guest lecturers from foreign universities contribute to the variety of skills and knowledge at KK Technology faculty. Students can gain experience in their study programme from guest lecturers from Belgium, USA, Hungary, Finland, and others.
Interactive theory lectures: explanation during lectures along with analysis of practical examples, demonstration of method application, discussion, seminar, group-work, brainstorming, and case analysis. Practice in computer classrooms, laboratory and practical works, solving of practical tasks, interactive solving of tasks, analysis of drawings, laboratory works in a virtual laboratory, report of laboratory and practical work, practical test tasks, and application of knowledge about the limits of laboratory equipment application. Project preparation under the teacher’s consultation, self-study, work report, presentation and defence. Self-study: report, presentation, demonstration, self-check tests, self-study of scientific literature.
Students will gain intercultural experience by going for part-time studies and / or internship to Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Turkey, Germany, Ireland, Latvia. KK has concluded more than 30 cooperation agreements with European higher education institutions for student and faculty exchange.
Students can participate in various international projects under Erasmus+, Nordplus and other programmes.
Students can take advantage of undertaking internships abroad. There are numerous opportunities in Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Turkey, Ireland, Latvia.
The Software Systems study program is designed for individuals seeking to become software system and software designers and analysts, programmers, testers and software project managers. Increasing digitization and integration of information technology in business processes is increasing the demand for program system professionals.
Qualified program system specialists who have acquired systematic knowledge and are able to adapt them to career opportunities are associated with extremely fast developing and global standards companies that are constantly experiencing a shortage of such professionals. These are:
Opportunities for further studies at universities are ensured by Master’s degree programs in Informatics sciences in Lithuania.
Continuity is also possible in foreign higher education institutions.
