This thesis examines the prospects of future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Using computer simulation techniques, we calculate the experimental sensitivities for two experimental configurations in a set of important questions which are all relevant for modern day neutrino physics. First, we set focus on the determination of the θ23 octant, where the aim is to find whether the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle θ23 lies in the high octant, θ23 > 45◦, or in the low octant, θ23 < 45◦. On the other hand, we study how well the long baseline experiments could test the limits of the Standard Model by seeking deviations from the oscillation patterns that follow from the standard three-neutrino paradigm. As an example, we study so called triplet Higgs bosons, which play a central role in the Type II seesaw mechanism, and calculate their effect on neutrino oscillations in the next generation long baseline experiment DUNE
