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 specialty exam.
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

Advanced training in structural design, analysis, and construction technologies.
Focus on Eurocodes, reliability, and seismic/ wind resistance of buildings.
Modules in modern materials, prefabrication, renovation, and energy-efficient envelopes.
BIM/VDC workflows for design–construction coordination and quantity take-off.
Project planning, contracts, and site management integrated with QA/QC.
Research and an applied master’s thesis connected to real projects.
Main edge: a practice-driven MSc inside a technical university, combining Eurocode-based structural design with BIM and modern construction methods (prefab, renovation, sustainability) to prepare graduates for complex civil and industrial projects.

Career Opportunities

Graduates step into high-impact roles where engineering meets management, codes meet BIM, and innovation meets the jobsite or pathway to PhD/academia.
