Study field: MUSIC EDUCATIONStudying of the study subjects of the module will enable students to

understand systemic fundamentals of special study subjects of music aswell as technologies of their application in practical music activities; toperceive links of goals, objectives, content, technologies of music edu-cation and competences to be developed; to plan, model and analysemusic education process applying music computer technologies; to iden-tify level of school students‘ musical capacities and competences, to fore-see strategy for their development; to professionally participate in musicactivities (to sing, to play music).

Study field: EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES OF MUSICThe goal of study subject Leadership and group management is to

develop understanding of the essence of leadership and importance ofleadership in the changing situation of education and music education,to identify leadership principles, models, strategies of group manage-ment, ability to efficiently apply various leadership forms in educationalpractice of music.

The study subject Self-regulation of music teacher familiarises stu-dents with regularities of psychological phenomena teaching music onthe basis of the newest scientific research.

Project of music expression / Project activities of music teacher pro-vide students with a possibility for choosing individual (or chamber) orinstrumental music expression highlighting peculiarities of musicproject activities.

Study field: SOCIAL PEDAGOGYThe study programme Social pedagogy aims to create possibilities

as cognitive as well as practical for the students to develop their compe-tencies ensuring successful performance of the following roles: learningorganiser, creative educator, creator of opportunities, helper, partner,mediator between learner and various modern sources of information,coordinator of education process correction.

During studies, students will be able to choose optional streams(with certain subjects) in their studies: social integration of personality(children with special needs, child care, establishing friendly environ-ment, act); public communication (mas media, visual communication,social photography, etc.); family education (positive parenting; child care,family and community,ect.).

Faculty of Philology invites students to pro-mote their communicative competences indifferent foreign languages such as English,French, German, Polish, and Russian. Eachof the suggested foreign language modulesconsists of 30 ECTS credits with weekly con-tact hours ranging from 20 to 22. The modulecan be adopted according to students’ needsanalysis relocating number of credits, studysubjects and contact hours.

The module is aimed at advancing students’knowledge in a foreign language, culture andliterature, developing students’ ability to ap-ply their knowledge in practice in differentcommunicative situations and discourses. Thefocus is put on speaking, writing and listeningskills in social as well as academic spheres oflanguage use.

Students will analyse and report on topicsrelated to an individual and society, forms ofgovernment, political life, art, literature, and themedia issues. Moreover, students will enrichacademic and meta-language discourse byanalysing and interpreting essays, literary andnewspaper texts within humanistic, academic,intercultural, social, political, and psychologi-cal contexts by making presentations and tak-ing part in a discussion. Writing skills will bedeveloped directly by writing and analysing aparagraph, an essay, an application letter, anda review.

Study field: BALTIC STUDIESThe goal of the programme is to give for-

eign students the possibility to study Lithuanianphilology (Baltic studies) through one-semes-ter studies.

The programme is designed for studentsstudying in Baltic study centres, Erasmusstudents and foreign students who have re-ceived grants through bilateral cooperationagreements or governmental scholarships(http://www.smpf.lt/lt).

The study programme is designed for stu-dents studying in English or Russian lan-guages.

While undertaking the study programme,students are able to learn European levelsof Lithuanian language (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1and C2) and get acquainted with the socio-cultural context of Lithuania.

Study field: FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMISTRY ANDBIOCHEMISTRYThe module „Fundamentals of Chemistry and Biochemistry“ covers clas-

sical chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, the basics of mod-ern organic chemistry. Students are introduced to the basic concepts ofbiochemistry, to the principles of qualitative and quantitative chemical analysiswith emphasis on classical methods. In this module, particular attention ispaid to the practical work in the laboratory of chemistry. The main aim ofthe analytical laboratory course is to develop good skills for the performanceof analytical procedures. The module covers the various aspects of environ-mental chemistry. This course is designed to introduce students to thebasic principles of aquatic chemistry, atmospheric chemistry and thechemistry of soils. Students are given the knowledge of some of thebiologically active compound classes such as hormones, lipids, alkaloids,prostaglandins, antibiotics, plant hormones, and pheromones. Studentsare introduced to the main stages of their synthesis, the potential useand research problems.

Study field: PHYSICSThis course is an introduction to the fundamental principles of nano-

science. Presented nanoscale structures and phenomena associated withnanoscale characteristics.

Astrophysics: this is an introduction to astrophysics. Solid State Physics,intended to convey the basic knowledge of the crystal structure and itsmechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic properties. Electrodynamicsand Special Theory of Relativity: the main aim of this course is to introducestudents with classical theory of electric and magnetic phenomena andwith quantum electrodynamics. The main aim of Liquid Crystal Physicscourse is to introduce students with liquid crystals which are substancesdemonstrating features of the solid state physics in the liquid crystallinephase. Liquid Crystal Physics is a rich subject where are possible ele-ments to combine with other for the creation of nanoscale devices. Themain aim of Nanophotonics course is to introduce students with artificialmaterials – photonic crystals, applications and light propagation in thephotonic band gap materials (PBG). PBG are a novel class of photoniccrystals that carry the concept of molding the flow of light to the mostmicroscopic level allowed by the laws of physics. Consisting of dielectricmicrostructures with periodicity of roughly half the wavelength of light.
