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 Physics and Mathematics.
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
Year 1 (semesters 1–2) – foundations
Higher Mathematics (part 1), Descriptive Geometry & Engineering Graphics, English for Professional Purposes, History of Ukrainian statehood & culture, Chemistry, and Physical Education; by semester 2 you also meet Electrical Engineering & Electric Drive.
Year 2 (semesters 3–4) – core mechanics & systems
Strength of Materials and Materials Science & Technology of Structural Materials; Theoretical Mechanics and Theory of Machines & Mechanisms; intro Industrial Robotics appears in semester 4 alongside electronics/microprocessors.
Year 3 (semesters 5–6) – machine design & manufacturing
Machine Components (Parts) 1, Metal-cutting Machine Tools (with project), Interchangeability, Standardization & Technical Measurements (often with a course project), Welding Technologies, and Manufacturing Technology / Production Technology of Machine Parts.
Year 4 (semesters 7–8) – automation, specialization & capstone
Advanced/track courses such as Automation of Manufacturing Processes, Equipment & Progressive Forming Methods, Packaging Technology and Logistics Infrastructure, plus robotics/mechatronics design topics (e.g., Design of Robotic Systems). You complete practice related to the bachelor’s project and the Bachelor’s Qualification Work.
Overview
You’ll build a strong base in higher mathematics and physics, then move through theoretical mechanics, machine and structure design, fluid mechanics, and materials/strength to understand how mechanical systems are conceived and behave.
You’ll learn engineering graphics and 3D CAD, and use CAD/CAM/CAE and numerical simulation to model kinematics/dynamics and analyze stresses in components.
The program covers manufacturing processes (machining, assembly, welding), CNC and automation, metrology/quality control, hydraulics/pneumatics, and fundamentals of robotics and drives.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of Applied Mechanics are in steady demand across the global engineering market thanks to their blend of mechanics, materials, CAD/CAE modeling, and manufacturing know-how. As industries accelerate automation and digital manufacturing, employers in aerospace, automotive, heavy machinery, energy, logistics, and medical devices seek engineers who can design reliable mechanisms, simulate performance, optimize production, and maintain complex equipment—skills this program develops from day one.
Typical roles include: Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineer; Product Development Engineer; R&D/Testing Engineer; Robotics/Automation Integrator; Tooling & Fixtures Engineer; Applications/Service Engineer; Reliability/Asset Management Engineer; Industrial Engineer; Project Engineer in EPC/energy; Entry-level Engineering Analyst, Quality & Metrology Engineer; Welding/Materials Technologist; Maintenance & Reliability Engineer; Industrial Logistics/Packaging Equipment Engineer; Field Service Engineer.
The degree also provides a strong academic platform for continuing to Master’s and PhD studies—at Lviv Polytechnic (e.g., Applied Mechanics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Industrial Engineering) or at universities abroad—supporting progression into advanced R&D, technical leadership, or specialized engineering domains.
