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 Construction Knowledge
- Structural and Construction Mechanics & Materials — you study how buildings, roads and airfield structures are built, what materials are used, and how to ensure strength, safety and durability.
- Geodesy / Soil Mechanics / Ground Engineering — you learn how to assess terrain, soil, ground conditions — essential for designing stable roads, runways, and airfield foundations.
- Basics of Design for Roads and Airfields — introduction to planning roads, highways, runways and airfields: layout, geometry, regulations and standards.
- Engineering Graphics / CAD & Planning Tools — learn design drawing, computer-aided design, plans and documentation for civil-engineering and infrastructure projects.
Semester 2 — Specialised Infrastructure & Airfield-Specific Topics
- Design & Reconstruction of Highways and Airfields — you learn methods and technologies to design new roads and runways, or reconstruct / modernize existing infrastructure.
- Pavement / Runway Structure & Durability, Materials & Road/Airfield Surfacing — courses on the structure of pavement/runway layers, material science, and how to build durable, safe driving or landing surfaces.
- Traffic, Transport Infrastructure & Safety Design — learn how road networks and airfield infrastructure integrate into wider transport systems; design traffic flows, safety, and supportive infrastructure (taxiways, aprons, service roads).
- Modern Technologies & Construction Methods for Transport Infrastructure — study contemporary construction technologies; perhaps including resource-saving methods, mechanization, modernization practices.
Semester 3 — Project Work, Management & Master’s Thesis / Final Project
- Infrastructure Maintenance, Monitoring & Diagnostics — learn to assess technical condition of roads/airfields, plan maintenance, monitoring and safety checks over lifespan.
- Project Management, Costing & Construction Organization — you study how to plan, organize and manage construction/maintenance projects: scheduling, cost estimation, resource management, regulatory compliance.
- Specialised or Elective Courses (depending on interest) — optional subjects may include advanced design methods, environmental & ecological aspects, airport-specific infrastructure planning, or innovative materials/technologies. (Based on department’s list of optional components.)
- Master’s Thesis / Final Project — a significant design or research work: e.g., designing a road network or airport runway, reconstruction plan, infrastructure maintenance scheme or a research project on materials or durability.
Overview
The program trains you to plan, design, build, reconstruct and maintain transport infrastructure — including roads, highways, and airport runways/airfields. You learn civil-engineering and construction skills together with specialized techniques for building and maintaining airfields and transport infrastructure. The program combines theory (engineering, materials, geodesy, design norms) with applied knowledge (airport/runway design, road/airfield construction, infrastructure maintenance). As part of University’s authorized faculty for airfields and civil-construction, the course gives you a solid engineering background for transport-infrastructure works.
Career Opportunities
After graduation you can work as a civil / transport infrastructure engineer, airfield or airport construction engineer, or road/highway design & maintenance specialist. You could join companies that build or rehabilitate roads, runways, taxiways, airports or other transport infrastructure — as designer, project engineer, site engineer, or infrastructure maintenance supervisor. You may also work in infrastructure planning, reconstruction of existing airfields or roads, construction supervision, quality control, materials & structural testing, or in management of transport-infrastructure projects. The degree gives you a path into construction & civil-engineering firms, airport operators, road construction companies, or agencies responsible for transport infrastructure development.
