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.

Overview
The program is designed for students who dream of working with drones and modern aviation technology. Over four years, you will gain a solid foundation in aviation, electronics, IT, and control systems, learning how to operate, maintain, and program unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
During the program, students study the theory of aviation transport and UAV systems, ground control of drones, navigation and control systems, and technical maintenance of both airborne and ground equipment. You’ll also get hands-on experience with UAVs, combining practical training with research-based knowledge.
The University emphasizes a combination of theory and practice, ensuring that students not only understand the technical side of UAVs but also develop problem-solving, analytical, and management skills. By the end of the program, you’ll be ready to take on the challenges of the fast-growing unmanned aviation industry.
Career Opportunities
Graduates are prepared for exciting careers as drone operators, UAV maintenance specialists, avionics or IT technicians, and professionals in industries using unmanned aircraft for transport, monitoring, aerial photography, or logistics. The program also lays the groundwork for further studies at the master’s level.
