How will you learn?
This new generation study programme is based on the “flip classroom” method, whereby students learn and gain experience in an ongoing business project and during the lecturers, which helps to consolidate their knowledge and seek answers to questions raised during the ongoing business project.
“Problem solving” is used during the lectures, in the form of discussions, as means of finding common solutions, experimentating, reflecting and gaining feedback from students and business representatives.
The programme will use “Design thinking” methods and interactive visual collaboration tools to develop creativity and innovative thinking.
This is the first study programme of this kind in Lithuania.
