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 IT & Aviation
Your first year builds the base for everything: computers, programming, physics, and how aircraft systems work.
Typical subjects include: Higher Mathematics – sharpens your analytical thinking; Physics & Electromagnetism – the core science behind aviation and electronics; Fundamentals of Programming – your first steps into writing code; Computer Architecture – understanding how computers “think.; Aviation Fundamentals – an introduction to the aviation world you’ll soon work in; Information Technologies in Engineering – how engineers use modern digital tools.
This year gives you the “language” of engineers — math, logic, computing, and aviation basics.

Year 2 — Diving Into Engineering & Electronics
Now you start exploring the systems used in real aircraft and aviation infrastructure.
Typical subjects include: Algorithms and Data Structures – the building blocks of efficient software; Digital & Analog Electronics – understanding circuits, signals, and avionics hardware; Operating Systems – how software manages complex devices; Computer Networks – how aviation systems communicate securely and reliably; Electrical Engineering – principles that power every aviation system.
This year connects hardware and software — preparing you to work with real aviation equipment.

Year 3 — Aviation Computer Systems & Automation
You’ll study how complex aviation systems function, interact, and support aircraft and airport operations.
Typical subjects include: Aviation Information Systems – software that powers airports, navigation, and flight control; Embedded Systems – small computers inside aircraft devices; Automated Control Systems – how airplanes and airports use automation; Systems – storing and processing critical aviation data; Modeling & Simulation of Technical Systems – predicting system behavior using digital tools.
This year is about becoming a specialist in aviation computing — the “smart brains” of the industry.

Year 4 — Professional Aviation Engineering & Practice
You begin applying your skills in real engineering tasks and advanced aviation technologies.
Typical subjects include: Avionics and Navigation Systems – electronics responsible for navigation, control, and safety; Computer-Aided Design (CAD) in Aviation – creating and analyzing digital engineering models; Diagnostics & Maintenance of Aviation Systems – keeping systems safe and reliable; Cloud and Server Technologies – supporting aviation IT infrastructure; Professional Practice & Internship – real experience in aviation or IT companies; Bachelor’s Thesis – your first independent engineering project.
This year prepares you for real engineering work — solving problems, building systems, and entering the aviation tech world.

Overview

This program prepares students to work with the smart computer systems that keep modern aircraft and aviation infrastructure running safely and efficiently. You will learn how aviation software, electronics, sensors, and automated systems work together, and gain the skills to design, maintain, and support these technologies. It’s a perfect choice if you love computers, engineering, and the high-tech world of aviation.

Career Opportunities

Graduates become specialists capable of developing and supporting aviation computer systems, embedded devices, navigation and control modules, and automated information systems used in airports and aircraft. You can work in avionics companies, aerospace engineering centers, IT departments, airlines, or any industry that relies on smart automated systems. The program opens doors to careers such as system engineer, avionics engineer, embedded systems developer, technical support engineer, or IT engineer in aviation and high-tech sectors.
