Study plans

Consultants can only be appointed when the doctoral topic is interdisciplinary and the consultant is from another scientific department/institution.
The study documents (descriptions) of the studied subjects are available on the FTMC website https://www.ftmc.lt/dokumentai-3 . Depending on the field of study, doctoral students choose subjects from the list of compulsory and optional subjects:
1. Physics major: https://www.vu.lt/studijos/doktoranturos-studijos/reglamentai-ir-programu-sandai/fizikos-programos-sandai
2. Chemistry majors: https://www.vu.lt/studijos/doktoranturos-studijos/reglamentai-ir-programu-sandai/chemijos-programos-sandai
3. Materials engineering major: https://www.vu.lt/studijos/doktoranturos-studijos/reglamentai-ir-programu-sandai/medziagu-inzinerijos-programos-sandai
4. Electrical and electronic engineering: https://www.vgtu.lt/stojantiesiems/doktoranturos-studijos/-doktoranturos-studiju-organizavimas/studiju-moduliai/283271
The scope of doctoral studies amounts to at least 30 credits (ECTS): 25 – 27 ECTS for studied subjects and 3 – 5 ECTS for activities that strengthen general abilities.
A doctoral student studies at least 3 subjects (depends on the field of study and the number of credits assigned to the selected study subjects). The exams must be passed during the first two years of study.
The studies of each subject are completed with an exam. Passed exams are recorded in the examination protocol (the template (“Egzaminų laikymo protokolas”) is available on the FTMC website https://www.ftmc.lt/dokumentai-3 ).
Requests for the formation of the examination committee are submitted through DVS Self-service (https://dvs2.ftmc.lt/#/Login, “DRR-20 - Prašymas dėl egzamino komisijos sudarymo”), orders are prepared by Ieva Stirkė (room C425, ieva.stirke@ftmc.lt )
After passing all the exams, the examination protocol has to be submitted to the FTMC Doctoral School (room D412/D409).
A doctoral student must receive from 3 to 5 ECTS credits for the development of general skills (i.e. preparation of project applications, scientific writing, academic ethics, intellectual property, entrepreneurship, communication skills, etc.)
The decision concerning endorsement of additional credits shall be taken by the Committee upon submission of an application, a certificate confirming the credits received or participation in an internship and a completed table of activities that strengthen General abilities in the prescribed form (templates of the application and table are available on the FTMC website https://www.ftmc.lt/dokumentai -3, “Bendruosius gebėjimus stiprinančios veiklos lentelė”).
When preparing the study plan, it is necessary to plan to present the obtained research results at at least 2 international scientific conferences (Article 67.3 of the Regulation).
Depending on the field of study, you should plan to publish the main results of your research in at least two (Physics field - three) articles in peer reviewed international research journals with a citation index in the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science (CA WoS) database.
