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 trains you to understand, design, and manage high-power equipment — like gas turbines and compressor stations — used in energy production and gas-transport systems. You study how energy machines convert fuel or gas into power, how turbines and compressors work, and how to ensure their safety, efficiency and reliability. The program combines strong theoretical foundations with practical skills, using University’s labs, real engines and equipment — preparing you for real engineering tasks.
Career Opportunities
After graduation you can work as an engineer or researcher for power plants, gas-transport companies, compressor stations, or industrial enterprises using turbine and compressor technology. You can design, install, maintain, test, and modernize gas-turbine plants or compressor stations — including their mechanical, thermo- and gas-dynamics systems. You may also work in energy-equipment manufacturing, repair, testing, or diagnostics — structural design, strength analysis, maintenance planning, or commissioning of power equipment. Your expertise can be useful in energy production, gas transmission, industrial energy systems, or in research institutions focused on thermal power and energy technology.
