Undergraduate Aircraft equipment (BSc)

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 in Aviation & Engineering
Students build the basic engineering, technical, and scientific knowledge required for understanding aircraft systems.
Typical subjects: Higher Mathematics; Physics for Aviation; Introduction to Aircraft and Helicopters; Technical Drawing & CAD Basics; Materials Science; Computer Technologies and Programming, Electrical Engineering Fundamentals, Aviation English, Safety and Environmental Studies.
You start by learning the fundamental principles of flight, aircraft design, and engineering. This year gives you the math, physics, and technical skills you’ll need to understand and work with aircraft systems.

Year 2 – Aircraft Systems & Equipment
Students explore aircraft systems, instrumentation, and onboard equipment in detail.
Typical subjects: Aircraft Electrical Systems, Avionics and Instruments, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems, Aircraft Power Systems, Applied Mechanics, Electronics and Automatic Control, Aerodynamics Basics, Measurement and Instrumentation, Technical English for Aviation.
You learn how aircraft systems function, from electrical and hydraulic systems to avionics and instruments. Practical exercises help you understand how onboard equipment keeps flights safe and reliable.

Year 3 – Diagnostics, Maintenance & Operational Systems
This year focuses on practical engineering skills, maintenance, and diagnostics of aircraft equipment.
Typical subjects: Aircraft Maintenance Technologies; Diagnostics of Aircraft Equipment; Aircraft Systems Reliability and Safety; Airworthiness Standards and Certification; Automatic Control Systems for Aircraft; Engine and Power System Interfaces; Laboratory and Practical Training.
You begin working with real aircraft systems, learning how to inspect, maintain, and repair onboard equipment. Safety, reliability, and compliance with international standards are emphasized in every practical session.

Year 4 – Advanced Equipment Systems & Professional Practice
The final year integrates all knowledge and prepares students for professional aviation careers.
Typical subjects: Advanced Aircraft Equipment and Avionics, Maintenance Planning and Quality Control, Modern Flight Systems and Technologies, Technical Documentation and Regulations (ICAO/EASA), Internship / Industry Practice, Bachelor Thesis / Final Qualification Work.
You apply all your knowledge during hands-on internships and projects. By the end of the year, you can manage, maintain, and troubleshoot complex aircraft equipment, fully prepared to work in airlines, MROs, or aerospace companies.

Overview

The prepares students to become skilled specialists in the design, operation, and maintenance of aircraft systems and components. The program focuses on understanding aircraft instruments, control systems, avionics, power systems, and onboard equipment that ensure safe and efficient flight operations.
Students gain both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, studying aircraft systems, electrical and electronic equipment, automation, and diagnostic techniques. The program combines classroom learning with hands-on laboratory work and practical training in aviation workshops.
This program is ideal for students who want to work directly with the technology that keeps aircraft operating safely, whether in airlines, airports, aviation repair companies, or aerospace engineering firms.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the Aircraft Equipment program can work in: Aircraft and helicopter design bureaus; Airlines and aviation engineering departments; Maintenance and repair organizations (MRO); Avionics and aircraft systems manufacturing; Airworthiness and technical certification organizations, Research and aerospace laboratories. Roles may include: Aircraft systems engineer; Avionics and electrical equipment specialist; Aircraft maintenance technician; Diagnostics and inspection engineer; Flight systems coordinator.
Graduates gain practical experience, technical knowledge, and familiarity with international aviation standards, preparing them for careers in the aviation industry worldwide.
