Undergraduate Gas turbine plants and compressor stations (BSc)

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 — Engineering Basics & Foundations
Subjects you study: Higher Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, Technical Drawing & Computer Graphics (CAD basics), Materials Science, Introduction to Energy Engineering, Academic English / Ukrainian, IT Tools for Engineers.
Your first year builds the core engineering foundation — math, physics, materials, and technical drawing. You learn how machines work, how to read and create engineering drawings, and gain the basic skills needed for any modern engineer.

Year 2 — Core Mechanical & Energy Engineering
Subjects you study: Thermodynamics, Heat and Gas Dynamics, Strength of Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Machine Elements, Electric Engineering Basics, CAD/CAE Engineering Modeling, Manufacturing Technologies, Engineering Safety.
This year you begin exploring the real “science behind turbines.” You dive into thermodynamics, gas flow, and mechanical strength — learning what makes engines powerful, safe, and efficient. You also begin working with engineering software and simulation tools.

Year 3 — Specialization in Turbines & Compressor Stations
Subjects you study: Theory of Gas Turbine Engines, Compressor Stations: Design & Operation, Turbomachinery Design, Diagnostics & Technical Maintenance of Turbine Systems, Energy Equipment Reliability, Automation & Control of Energy Systems, Industrial Ecology and Efficiency. Elective courses (e.g., renewable energy, advanced materials, computational modeling)
The third year is where the program becomes highly specialized. You study real turbine engines, compressor systems, and industrial equipment. You learn how to design, operate, diagnose, and maintain these systems — becoming a true turbomachinery specialist.

Year 4 — Practice, Design Work & Graduation
Subjects you study: Modern Gas Turbine Installations, Energy Efficiency & Optimization, Testing of Turbine & Compressor Equipment, Industrial Internship / Practical Training, Bachelor’s Project (designing or analyzing a turbine or compressor system), Advanced Specialization Electives.
In your final year, you apply your knowledge through real engineering practice and a major design project. You gain hands-on experience in companies, get familiar with real turbine equipment, and prepare for your career as an energy engineer.

Overview

The program prepares students to work with powerful energy-engineering systems used in aviation, gas transportation, and industrial production. You’ll study how gas-turbine engines and compressor stations are designed, built, operated, and maintained. The program combines thermodynamics, mechanics, materials science, and modern energy technologies, giving you both strong theoretical knowledge and practical engineering skills.

Career Opportunities

Graduates are ready for careers in energy companies, gas transportation systems, turbine-maintenance centers, industrial plants, and engineering design bureaus, or can continue to Master’s studies in energy and mechanical engineering.
