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.

Overview
The program teaches you how modern aviation stays safe, connected, and well-coordinated. You learn how air navigation, communication, radar, and satellite systems work and how to design, operate, and improve them. The program combines theory with practical training, so you develop real engineering skills used in today’s airports and air-traffic control centers. It is a great choice for students who love aviation technology and want to work with advanced navigation and air-traffic systems.
Career Opportunities
Graduates can work as engineers of air-navigation systems, air-traffic management systems, or aviation communication and surveillance equipment. You can build a career in airports, air-traffic control centers, aviation companies, and research laboratories.
You may also work in certification, aviation safety, system design, or continue with a PhD in aviation technologies.
