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 n 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 and Engineering
Students build a strong base in mathematics, physics, and engineering concepts essential for understanding aircraft and helicopter technologies.
Typical subjects: Higher Mathematics; Physics for Aviation; Engineering Mechanics; Materials Science; Introduction to Aircraft and Helicopters; Technical Drawing & CAD Basics; Computer Technologies and Programming; Aviation English; Safety and Environmental Studies.
You start your journey by learning the science and math behind flight. This year gives you a solid foundation in how aircraft and helicopters work and introduces you to the engineering tools and software used in the aviation industry.
Year 2 – Aircraft & Helicopter Systems
Focus shifts to understanding aircraft structures, propulsion, and onboard systems.
Typical subjects: Aerodynamics of Fixed-Wing and Rotary-Wing Aircraft; Aircraft and Helicopter Structures; Aircraft and Engine Systems; Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems; Avionics Basics; Applied Mechanics, Electrical Engineering for Aviation, Measurement and Instrumentation.
You learn how helicopters and airplanes are designed, how their engines work, and how systems like hydraulics, avionics, and electrical components keep them flying safely. Practical exercises help you understand the mechanics of flight.
Year 3 – Maintenance, Diagnostics, and Flight Operations
Students focus on practical aviation engineering skills, maintenance procedures, and diagnostics of aircraft and helicopters.
Typical subjects: Aircraft and Helicopter Maintenance Technology, Engine Maintenance and Repair, Diagnostics of Airframe and Systems, Aviation Materials and Strength Testing, Reliability and Safety of Aircraft Systems, Airworthiness Standards and Certification, Automatic Control Systems, Laboratory and Practical Training.
You start working like a real aviation engineer, inspecting aircraft and helicopters, performing maintenance, and learning how to detect and solve technical problems. Safety and reliability are at the core of every lesson.
Year 4 – Advanced Engineering and Professional Practice
The final year is dedicated to professional practice, advanced technologies, and integration of all learned skills.
Typical subjects: Advanced Aircraft and Helicopter Systems, Engine Performance and Modernization, Maintenance Planning and Quality Management, Flight Operation Support, Technical Documentation and Regulations (ICAO/EASA), Internship / Industry Practice, Bachelor Thesis / Final Qualification Work.
You apply all your knowledge during internships and hands-on projects. By the end of this year, you can plan maintenance, evaluate aircraft systems, and ensure the safe operation of airplanes and helicopters. You are ready for a professional aviation engineering career.
Overview
The program prepares students to work at the heart of the aerospace industry, focusing on the design, structure, systems, and technical operation of airplanes and rotorcraft. The program teaches how modern aircraft and helicopters are built, how they fly, how their systems function, and how to ensure their safe and efficient operation across all stages of flight.
Students explore aerodynamics, flight mechanics, aircraft structures, hydraulics, avionics, propulsion, and rotorcraft technologies, while gaining solid engineering and practical skills. The program combines theoretical education with hands-on training in University’s laboratories, simulators, and aircraft maintenance facilities.
This specialty is ideal for students who want to understand how aircraft work, solve engineering problems, and participate in the future of the global aviation industry.
Career Opportunities
Graduates of Aircraft and Helicopters (BSc) can work in various aviation and aerospace sectors, including: Aircraft and helicopter design bureaus; Airlines and aviation engineering departments; Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) centers; Airworthiness and safety organizations; Aviation component manufacturing companies; Research institutions and aerospace laboratories.
They become specialists capable of diagnosing, maintaining, testing, and modernizing aircraft and helicopters, as well as ensuring their safe and reliable operation in accordance with international standards.
