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

Year 1 — Foundations of Aviation & Technical Basics
The first year gives students a strong start in understanding how the aviation world works. You build the mathematical, technical, and communication skills needed for all future air-traffic specialists.
Subjects: Introduction to Aviation & Air Navigation, Higher Mathematics, Physics for Aviation, Basics of Electronics and Electrical Engineering, Computer Systems and Programming, Introduction to Radio Communication, Technical English for Aviation, Safety Culture & Human Factors, Physical Training / Ukrainian & International Culture Courses.
This year helps you understand how aircraft fly, how communication works, and why safety is the heart of aviation. You learn the basics of electronics, computing, and aviation rules — everything you need to grow into a future air-traffic professional.

Year 2 — Navigation, Surveillance & Communication Systems
Students move deeper into professional aviation systems, exploring how aircraft are guided, controlled, and monitored in the sky.
Subjects: Aerodynamics & Aircraft Flight Principles, Radio Communication Systems in Aviation, Radar and Surveillance Systems, Satellite Navigation (GNSS), Radio-Navigation Systems (VOR, DME, ILS), Signals & Systems, Computer Networks in Aviation, Aviation Meteorology, Professional English for ATS.
This year dives into real air-traffic technologies — radar, satellite navigation, and the systems that help pilots and controllers stay connected. You discover how weather, communication signals, and radar tracking shape every safe flight.

Year 3 — Air Traffic Services & Modern ATM Systems
You start studying real air-traffic management, control procedures, and the modern global systems that organize the sky.
Subjects: Air Traffic Management (ATM), Air-Traffic Control Procedures, CNS/ATM Technologies, Surveillance Technologies (SSR, ADS-B, MLAT), Navigation System Integration, Aviation Regulations & ICAO Standards, Aviation Safety Management, Decision-Making in Aviation, Simulation Training & Practical Labs.
This year brings you into the professional world. You learn how air-traffic controllers organize flights, how global navigation systems work together, and how safety decisions are made in real time. You’ll practice with simulators and advanced aviation equipment.

Year 4 — Advanced ATS Operations, Integration & Practice

The final year focuses on real-world aviation operations, professional training, and the integration of all aviation systems.
Subjects: Advanced CNS/ATM Systems, Airspace Management & Flight Planning, Integrated Navigation & Communication Systems, System Modeling & Aviation Software, Airport Operations & Coordination, Internship / Industry Practice, Bachelor’s Thesis / Final Qualification Work.
During the last year, you connect all your knowledge into real aviation operations. You will analyze modern traffic systems, work with advanced communication and navigation tools, complete an internship, and prepare for your future career.

Overview

The program prepares students to work at the heart of aviation, managing safe and efficient aircraft movements in the sky and on the ground. The program teaches air navigation, flight safety, communication systems, meteorology, and modern air-traffic technologies, giving you the skills to support global air-traffic operations with confidence.

Career Opportunities

Graduates can work as air traffic service specialists, flight operations officers, air-navigation assistants, airport operations staff, or safety and communication system technicians. You’ll be ready for careers in airports, air-navigation service providers, airlines, aviation authorities, or to continue into advanced aviation studies.
