Entrance Exam Description
During the selection process we examine the competency of the applicant in two ways:
The faculty decides about the eligibility of the applicant by examining the documents of previous studies (degree, subject, results). This is followed by an entrance exams that evaluate the level of study-language and basic subjects depends on speciality.
The exams can be conducted online. In order to validate the entrant’s person, exams taken remotely are recorded on video, as is the person verification process. The recording is archived for at least five years on University’s grounds and the link to that recording is available in the united base of Ministry of Education of Ukraine.
Program Structure
Semester 1 — Foundations & Core Systems
- Computer Systems & Embedded / Real-time Systems — how computer and embedded hardware/software work; basic architecture used in avionics or aviation systems.
- Data Processing & Information Systems Engineering — building, managing and securing information systems that support aviation operations.
- System Design & Integration for Aviation Context — learning to design integrated hardware-software systems, combining sensors, communication, navigation, displays or automation subsystems.
- Mathematical Modeling & System Theory — mathematical and theoretical foundations needed to model, analyse and simulate complex aviation computer systems.
Semester 2 — Advanced Integration, Aviation-Specific Systems & Software/Hardware Work
- Aviation Computer Systems Engineering — specialized courses about systems used in aviation: navigation, communication, control, data flow, avionics software/hardware.
- Automation, Control & Cyber-Physical Systems — designing automated / control-systems that may be part of aircraft, drones, airport infrastructure, or air-navigation.
- Software & Hardware Interfaces, Real-time Control, Reliability & Safety — focusing on reliability, safety, real-time requirements and certification aspects, important in aviation systems.
- Information Support & Communication Systems for Aviation — how data/information flows (from sensors, radars, navigation, traffic control) are managed, processed and used.
Semester 3 — Specialization & Master’s Thesis / Project
- Complex System Design / Engineering Project — working on a substantial project: designing an aviation-related computer or avionics system, simulation, integration, testing.
- Research Methods & Project Management in Aviation IT Systems — learning how to plan, document, test and certify complex systems; combine software, hardware, regulatory and safety aspects.
- Advanced Topics depending on Interest — e.g. UAV systems, avionics software, air-navigation systems, automation for airports / navigation / traffic management.
- Master’s Thesis / Final Project — a capstone project or research study where you apply everything learned: design, build, verify or model an aviation computer / information system, or improve an existing one.
Overview
The program trains you to develop, manage and maintain computer-based systems used in aviation — from navigation and communication systems to complex avionics and control/automation systems. The program combines theory and applied engineering: you learn about computer systems, networks, software and hardware integration, system design and data processing — but specifically tailored for aviation needs. You study to become a professional capable of ensuring that aviation computer systems work reliably, safely and efficiently, aligning with international aviation standards. This makes the program a great option if you are interested in combining IT/computer engineering skills with aviation — and want to work on systems that keep air transport, navigation, avionics or UAVs running.
Career Opportunities
After graduation you could work as an avionics or aviation-computer-systems engineer, designing, maintaining or certifying computer and information systems for aircraft, airports or air-navigation services. You may also work as a systems integrator or IT-specialist in aviation companies, airlines, air-navigation service providers, or organizations managing UAVs and automated aviation systems. Your skills could be useful not only in aviation, but in companies dealing with high-reliability computer systems, embedded systems, automation and control—especially in transport, aerospace, telecommunications or defense industries.
If you prefer research or development, you could work in R&D labs designing next-generation aviation systems, avionics, automated control, navigation, or information-processing systems.
