Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The study programme is intended for training qualified information systems specialists with a systemic worldview and knowledge of the problems of informatics and information systems software engineering as well as their solutions while expanding student knowledge and abilities to analyse, evaluate and address the issues of building and improving information systems applying the accumulated knowledge of methods and techniques for building modern information systems.
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge. Students will accumulate the knowledge based on scientific research of building, maintaining and developing modern information systems using innovative methods and techniques including security principles; students will apply the knowledge in a complex and substantiated manner while solving problems of building information systems and conducting scientific research.
Students will accumulate the knowledge of the newest database formation techniques, system engineering concepts, business process modelling and knowledge management; they will be able to apply the knowledge substantively in designing, building and improving information systems and conducting scientific research.
Research skills. Students will be able to conduct analysis of scientific literature, synthesize and evaluate research data necessary for scientific and professional activities and innovation, to formulate constructive and argumentative conclusions and recommendations.
Students will be able to analyse and research the possibilities and methods for designing information systems software and applying innovative techniques, to choose technological means for realising research.
Special skills. Students will be able to identify information needs for solving problems, to evaluate the influence of data on information and knowledge, to explain and apply classification and information architecture concepts, to choose and apply knowledge engineering methodologies in designing knowledge-based systems, to propose architectures for business information systems and to select technologies for implementing them, as well as to specify and evaluate decision support systems, to choose tools and techniques for supporting decisions made, to apply quality control methods and standards for managing quality of information systems.
Students will be able to solve problems of designing, building and modernizing information systems, while applying the accumulated knowledge of the newest database formation techniques, system engineering concepts, business process modelling and knowledge management.
Social skills. Students will be able to critically evaluate as well as argumentatively and clearly communicate generalized scientific and domain information to specialists and other stakeholders.
Students will be able to work individually and in teams, to communicate verbally and in writing, make proposals, to take responsibility for individual and team results, to work with coworkers of different educational background, to present professional ideas and results.
Personal skills. Students will be able to use scientific knowledge; they will have research experience and systemic and strategic thinking skills for independent professional development and scientific research; they will be able to plan learning independently in a chosen direction.
Students will be able to logically reason, understand and critically evaluate ideas and results of others to make and realize innovative solutions while assessing possible societal and ethical implications.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Lecture, laboratory work, laboratory work in a virtual environment, practical exercises, literature analysis, case analysis, discussion, simulation, guest lecture, programming, team project, team exercises.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Control works, tests, report, mid-term exam, project defense, final thesis defense, laboratory work defense, project presentation, research presentation.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
The Master students studying under the programme of Information Systems Software Engineering learn to design information systems and create software for information systems and integrate it into already functioning information systems, if needed. They study modern information systems and databases, delve into methods and techniques for creating information systems, issues in information system project and quality management as well as issues in information system security. In total, 12 subjects are studied: Fundamentals of Scientific Research and Innovations; Systems and Data Engineering (with course work); Advanced Information Systems (with course work); Knowledge Management (with course work); Software requirements engineering (with course work ); Theory of Informatics; Business Process Modeling and Simulation (with course work); Information Systems Engineering (with course work); Information Technology Security Methods; Information Systems Project Management; Advanced Database Systems; Hardware for Information Systems; Artificial Intelligence and Its Applications.
Final Theses 1,2,3 courses are planned in each semester for working on Master Thesis, which finanlizes the program.
Internships are not compulsory, but practical skills are formed during the laboratory/practice works, by performing practical tasks and applying specialized software equipment. Students are also given opportunity to perform voluntary internship both in Lithuanian companies and via the Erasmus+ program.
Specialisations:
Not applicable.
Optional courses:
The study programme has two electives out of the alternatives indicated (Knowledge Management (with course work); Software requirements engineering (with course work); Information Technology Security Methods; Information Systems Project Management) and one elective out of general university subjects.
