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 & Aircraft Systems Basics
- Aircraft Design & Structural Fundamentals — learn how aircraft are built, how structural components work, and what constraints apply to aircraft equipment.
- Materials Science & Aviation Materials — study metals, composites and advanced materials used in aircraft; learn how to select materials for strength, safety, and weight requirements.
- Aircraft Systems & Onboard Equipment Basics — introduction to systems that make aircraft fly and carry passengers/cargo: avionics, cabin systems, environmental control, safety systems.
- Regulations & Airworthiness Standards — learn about global certification standards (EASA, FAA), safety and regulatory requirements, and how these influence design and manufacture.
Semester 2 — Advanced Design, Integration & Engineering Tools
- CAD / CAM / CAE & Computer‑Aided Design Tools — you gain practical skills in computer modelling, simulation, design and production planning for aircraft equipment.
- Systems Integration and Ergonomics of Aircraft Equipment — study how to integrate cabin, control, cargo and safety systems, considering ergonomics, comfort, safety, and regulatory compliance.
- Testing, Certification & Compliance of Aircraft Equipment — learn how aircraft systems are tested, certified, and made compliant with safety and airworthiness rules.
- Life‑Cycle & Maintenance Planning for Aircraft Equipment — you explore maintenance, reliability, durability, repair and overhaul planning of aircraft equipment and systems.
Semester 3 — Advanced Topics, Research & Final Project
- Advanced Engineering Analysis & Structural Assessment — deeper engineering: stress calculations, fatigue, reliability, safety assessments, strength analysis.
- Modern Aviation Technologies & Innovations — study cutting‑edge materials, aviation technologies, innovations in aircraft systems, modern design and production approaches.
- Research Methods & Thesis Preparation — you learn research methodology, project planning, technical documentation, standards analysis — preparing for the final MSc thesis.
- Master’s Thesis / Final Project — you complete a project or research work: design study, system integration, certification analysis or innovation in aircraft equipment.
Overview
The program trains you to design, develop, integrate and analyse aircraft systems — from cabin equipment to structural components and overall aircraft equipment. You study how to combine engineering, materials science, ergonomics, safety, certification standards (EASA / FAA), and design practices used in modern aviation worldwide. The program teaches you to handle the full life cycle of aviation equipment — from design and testing, to production, operation, and compliance with aviation regulations. You will gain practical and theoretical skills — including using CAD/CAM/CAE tools, working with modern aviation materials, understanding airworthiness standards, and preparing for real-world engineering tasks.
Career Opportunities
After graduating you can work as an aircraft equipment engineer, design or systems engineer in aerospace companies, maintenance and manufacturing organisations, and aviation design bureaus. You may be involved in designing aircraft cabins or cargo configurations, integrating systems and avionics, testing and certifying aircraft equipment according to global standards. You could work in companies that build, refurbish or maintain aircraft — or in organisations handling certification, safety, and compliance with international regulations. Because you learn design, materials, regulation, and systems as a whole — your skills are useful for research, development, or for working internationally in the aerospace industry.
