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

Design, model, and optimize multimodal transport systems—from urban mobility to freight logistics.
Study traffic flow theory, simulation, intelligent transport systems (ITS), safety and reliability, sustainability/ESG in transport, and transport economics.
Use digital tools (GIS, simulation, optimization, data analytics) to plan routes, schedules, hubs, and fleets.
Deliver an applied project and a master’s thesis linked to real operators or city authorities.
Main edge: a data-driven, ITS-focused program inside a technical university—strong modeling and analytics for optimizing real transport networks, not only policy descriptions.

Career Opportunities

Graduates can work as transport planners, traffic engineers, and ITS/smart-mobility specialists optimizing urban networks, routes, and control systems for city authorities and operators. They also join 3PL/4PL and e-commerce firms as logistics and fleet optimization analysts, or take roles in safety/reliability, transport economics and policy, and project management across road, rail, air, and multimodal infrastructure.
