| Entry qualification | Undergraduate diploma (or higher) Bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in Physics, Materials Technology or related fields. N. B. for non-EU/EFTA applicants: The gap since your completed Bachelor degree should not exceed five years. In order to qualify for the master studies at the faculty of Physics, at least 60% of studied subjects have to be from Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Materials Technology, Computer Science, or related fields. The cumulative weighted average evaluation of these subjects has to be at least 60% of the maximum possible and all evaluations have to be positive (passed). The candidates who meet the above-listed criteria will be invited to a remote motivational interview. During the interview, the candidate’s determination to study in a science-based Master’s degree programme is assessed. If the interview is deemed unsatisfactory, the candidate will not be invited to study. Additional points could be obtained for scientific publications and scientific conference presentations in the fields relevant for the study programme as proved by the bibliographic references. Important: additional country-specific requirements are set only for the following countries which you can find HERE (STEP 2) The entry qualification documents are accepted in the following languages: English / Lithuanian. Often you can get a suitable transcript from your school. If this is not the case, you will need official translations along with verified copies of the original.

Overview
Present technologies of multi scale supercomputing in a broad range of problems require specialists with original and creative mindset reinforced by scientific theoretical tools of material science. Such people are able to develop models, perform computations, analyse data and come up with ideas of improvement based on efficiency as dictated by rationale of physical science. They can easily adapt to ever changing scope of problems create and implement projects by employing supercomputing facilities and global outreach. This is achieved by learning latest “unfinished” subjects of theoretical physics and practicing scientific research interfaced with supercomputing. This program prepares such specialists.
