You specialise in Digital Manufacturing or Production and Manufacturing Management, and there is a semester-long work placement in engineering companies.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• KTU does not publish a rule for the Irish Leaving Cert specifically. The general rules are: completed secondary education, at least 60% in each subject used for the competitive score, and a pass in at least one state or equivalent school-leaving exam. The programme page says you should have finished school no more than three years before applying. KTU does its own free academic recognition and does not publish a set grade conversion. Ask KTU (academic.recognition@ktu.lt) how H and O grades are treated.
• The competitive score is 40% Maths, 40% one of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, IT, Geography or Engineering, and 20% English. Applicants who finished school before 2018 must sit KTU’s entrance exams.
• English: B2 is required (IELTS 5.5, TOEFL 75, CEFR B2 or equivalent). You are exempt if you are a native speaker, or if your previous studies were taught entirely in English and your documents show this. KTU also offers a free online English test. Check with KTU what proof an Irish applicant needs.
