Department of Physics

February 16, 1922 is the data of Kaunas University of Technology, Department of Physics origin. Professor V. Čepinskis was appointed as the Head of the Department. The department of Physics with all staff (except one assistant) and the material base was transferred to the Department of Physics of KPI in 1950 when Kaunas University (formerly the University of Vytautas Magnus) was transformed into Kaunas Institute of Technology (KPI) and Kaunas Medical Institute. KPI has been renamed into Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) during the study and education reforms in 1990. Current KTU Department of Physics remained as a single unit at Kaunas University of technology.

Studies

First cycle (bachelor’s) degree programs are appointed to develop general knowledge, to convey theoretical studies background and form necessary for independent work professional skills. University degree programs are oriented towards universal basic of education, academic preparation and the highest level of professional skills.

Bachelor’s degree:

Material Physics and Nanotechnologies (a unique bi-disciplinary undergraduate study programme in English)

Master’s degree:

PhD studies:

Physics
Materials Engineering (KTU and the University of Southern Denmark (Denmark) joint doctoral programme)

Research

Research groups:

History of scientific research

History of Physics Department (1990-2018)

The First Graduate students of Physics Master Program (1995-06-27)

The Supreme Council declared the restoration of Lithuania Act on March 11, 1990. Reorganization of different institutions was held after Lithuania regained independence. Lithuanian higher education institutions were not left besides historical events. Movement group was also established at Kaunas Polytechnic Institute, where actively participated the employees of the Department of Physics: Doc. A. Tamašauskas, researcher A. Meškauskas, senior lecturer A. Žiulpa, researcher dr. A. Batulevičius and others. Researcher of integrated circuits laboratory at Physics Department Dr. A. Batulevičius was elected to the first Kaunas City Council, supported by the Movement in April 13, 1990.
