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 of Telecom & Network Engineering
- Fundamentals of Telecommunications & Radio Engineering — understanding basic principles of signals, data transmission, communication theory, radio and telecom hardware.
- Network Architecture & Design — learn how to design, plan and lay out communication networks: wired, optical, wireless — structural design, topology, access + transport networks.
- Information & Communication Systems Administration — practical knowledge about configuring, administering, and maintaining network equipment (servers, routers, switches, communication devices).
- Signal Processing & Data Transmission Technologies — study of how data/signals are transmitted, encoding/decoding, digital communications, error correction, modulation, etc.

Semester 2 — Advanced Networks, Systems & Modern Telecom Technologies
- Next‑Generation Telecommunication Systems & Networks — modern network technologies: high‑speed telecom, fiber‑optics, broadband, possibly wireless/mobile networks, modern protocol stacks.
- Network Management, Diagnostics & Maintenance — skills for monitoring, diagnosing, maintaining, upgrading telecom systems; fault detection and correction, quality assurance.
- Radio Communications, Wireless & Radio‑Engineering Systems — for radio / wireless communication: theory and practice of radio‑frequency transmission, wireless links, radio networks, possibly broadcasting/communication systems.
- Information & Network Security (for Telecom) — securing networks, protecting communications, implementing secure protocols and ensuring data safety in communication systems (often crucial for telecom networks).

Semester 3 — Specialization, Project Work & Master’s Thesis / Final Project
- Specialized Elective or Advanced Topics (e.g. modern network technologies, IoT communications, optical networks, telecom standards, radio‑electronic systems in telecom) — depending on interest, you may choose focus areas like advanced wireless, satellite/radio communications, network design for large systems, etc.
- Practical Training / Laboratory Work / Projects — hands‑on work in labs or telecom‑equipment facilities: designing or testing networks, configuring equipment, building communication setups, working with real hardware.
- Research Methods & Engineering Research in Telecom — preparing for final thesis: learning research methodology, experimental design, analysis, documentation.
- Master’s Thesis / Final Project — a substantial research or engineering project: e.g. design/deployment of a communication network, analysis of telecom systems, design of radio-communication system, optimization of network design, etc.

Overview

The program trains you to understand, design, manage and maintain modern communication and telecom networks — including hardware and software, data transmission technologies, network architecture, signal processing, and network protocols. You’ll learn about both wired and wireless communications — including network planning, installation, configuration, diagnostics, and updates of telecom/radio systems. The program aims to form graduates with both practical and research competencies in telecommunications/radio‑engineering — ready to work on modern communication systems, network infrastructure, telecom equipment, and innovations in information & communication technologies.

Career Opportunities

The graduates can work as a telecommunications engineer, network engineer / administrator, system engineer for communication networks, radio communications specialist, network infrastructure manager, or network project engineer. Employers may include telecom operators, internet‑service providers, communication infrastructure firms, radio / broadcasting companies, or any organization operating large communication networks (airports, transport, enterprises).
Also possible: specialist in network maintenance, diagnostics and upgrade, communication systems designer, or research/engineering work in telecommunication hardware & software — especially relevant where advanced telecom and radio‑engineering skills are needed. Given University’s aviation & electronics orientation, there may also be opportunities in aviation communications, air‑navigation networks, or radio communications for transport and aerospace contexts.
