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 Systems Thinking
- Fundamentals of Control & Automation Systems — you learn basic theory of automated control, system design, automation fundamentals, and how computer systems interact with real hardware.
- Computer Systems & Embedded / Real-Time Computing — courses on microprocessor systems, embedded computing, system-level software and hardware integration — essential for automated systems.
- Networks, Data Systems & Communication for Control — study how computer networks and data exchange support control and automated systems, including design and security of such systems.
- Mathematics & System Theory — you build strong math and system-analysis skills needed to model, analyze, and design automated systems.
Semester 2 — Advanced Integration, Automation, Specialization
- Design of Automated & Computer-Integrated Systems — you learn to design complex systems that combine hardware (sensors, actuators), software, data flow and control logic — applicable to aviation, robotics, industrial automation.
- Control Algorithms, Signal Processing & Decision Systems — work on algorithms for control, data processing, decision-making in systems where automation and reliability are critical.
- Safety, Reliability & System Testing — courses on verifying, testing and ensuring reliability/safety of automated/computerized systems — especially important in aviation or high-risk industries.
- Information Security & Protection of Automated Systems — given networked and computerized nature, you learn how to protect systems against failures, cyber-threats, ensure secure and robust operation.
Semester 3 — Application, Research & Master’s Thesis / Project
- Applied Projects & System Implementation — you work on real or simulated projects: design and implement automated control or computer-integrated systems (e.g. for aviation, robotics, industrial automation).
- Research / Innovation in Automation and Control — explore new technologies, system design innovations, research on control algorithms, integration, or applied automation solutions.
- Master’s Thesis (Final Project) — full research or design project where you apply your knowledge: building, analyzing, or developing an automated or computerized system, showing you are ready for professional-level problems.
Overview
The program trains you to design, build, and manage modern automated and computer-controlled systems. You learn how to integrate computing, electronics, automation, and control theory — skills useful for many technical fields including aerospace, robotics, industrial automation, and information systems. The program is designed so that you gain both theoretical knowledge and practical competencies in automation, control systems, computer networks, and system-level design. The program aims to produce experts capable of creating and operating advanced control and automation systems — a skillset that is in demand in many industries.
Career Opportunities
After graduation you can work as a systems-automation engineer, control systems designer, or developer of automated computer-integrated systems. You may find jobs in aviation (aircraft or UAV control systems), industrial automation, robotics, manufacturing automation, or information-technology companies. You can become a programmer or engineer working on embedded systems, real-time control, networked systems, or automation of complex technical processes. Your skills are also applicable in defense / aerospace sectors, transport automation, and any domain requiring systems-level thinking, automation, and computer-control solutions. (Many graduates go into industries that combine computer, electronics, and automation.) With strong understanding of both hardware and software, you may also pursue research, development, or advanced technological projects — or work internationally thanks to the technical and language training.
