Summary of the Profile

General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The main objectives of programme is to study quantitative and qualitative processes in atmosphere, oceans and seas, rivers basins, lakes, swamps, water reservoirs; to exercise critical and analytical thinking; to develop scientific research and practical skills, which could be realized in future work related with monitoring of hydrosphere and atmosphere, meteorological and hydrological forecast, water management, evaluation of climate and water resources, examination of ecological status.
Learning outcomes:
A graduate is able:
• to make effective use of modern information technologies and statistical-mathematical methods;
• to prepare scientific reports and conclusions;
• to integrate different meteorological, climatological, hydrological ideas and innovations;
• to organize and execute hydrometeorological investigations, interpret the obtained results;
• to make meteorological and hydrological forecasts;
• to disseminate hydrological, meteorological and climatological information for different users.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Lectures, seminars, training practice, research project, presentation, testing, essay writing, group project, practicum in laboratories, training and professional practice, hydrometeorological experiments, Final Thesis.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The main form of evaluation is an examination. However, courses units may be evaluated by the pass/fail evaluation as well. Every course unit is concluded with either a written or written-oral examination or pass/fail evaluation. Student's knowledge and general performance during the exam are evaluated using grading scale from 1(very poor) to 10(excellent), or by pass or fail evaluation in the cases when pass/fail evaluation is foreseen as a final evaluation of the course unit.
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Study programme volume 240 credits including training practice 9 credits, professional practice 11 credits, general university courses 15 credits, optional courses 21 credits, final thesis 15 credits. The main study courses: Meteorology, Hydrology, Hydrometry, Geography of Lithuanian Inland Water Bodies, Meteorological Measurements, Remote Methods in Hydrometeorology, Introduction to Synoptic Meteorology, Hydrochemistry, Climatology, Oceanography, Lithuanian Climate, Applied Hydrology, Applied Meteorology, Limnology.
Specialisations:
-
Optional courses:
The possibility of adjacent study and double qualification degree.
Research projects and Final Thesis – students are free to choose topics in hydrology, meteorology or climatology.
Distinctive features of a study programme:
The possibility of double qualification degree.
Programme aims and learning outcomes meet the requirements of World Meteorological Organization (WMO) for university-level graduate meteorologists and hydrologists and mission of Lithuanian Hydrometeorological Service.
Access to professional activity or further study:
Access to professional activity:
Graduate may be employed in Ministry of Environment, National Hydrometeorological Service, Center of Marine Research. Graduate's ability to make free use of hydrometeorological knowledge’s and general skills as well as critical and analytical thinking, IT and research work abilities can be used in different branches of economy.
Access to further study:
For the purpose to deepening knowledge’s in atmospheric and hydrospheric sciences graduate students can continue their studies and reach master degree in Hydrometeorology, Geography, Cartography, Environmental Studies and Management study programmes in Lithuania and abroad.
