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 Civil Engineering & Transport Systems
Students build a solid base in mathematics, physics, materials, and basic construction principles.
Typical subjects: Higher Mathematics; Physics for Engineers; Fundamentals of Civil Engineering; Introduction to Road and Airfield Design; Materials Science and Construction Materials; Computer-Aided Design (CAD); Safety and Environmental Studies; English for Professional Communication.
You begin by learning the core principles of construction and transport systems. This year lays the foundation for understanding how roads and airfields are designed and maintained.

Year 2 – Road and Airfield Structures
Students explore the design and structural aspects of roads and runways.
Typical subjects: Structural Analysis and Strength of Materials, Pavement Design and Materials, Airfield Construction and Layout, Soil Mechanics and Geotechnics, Construction Technologies, Transport Systems and Traffic Management, Laboratory Practices in Civil Engineering.
You learn how to design durable roads and efficient airfields. Hands-on labs and projects help you understand materials, soil, and structural behavior in real-world conditions.

Year 3 – Advanced Infrastructure & Maintenance
Focus shifts to complex infrastructure design, maintenance, and safety.
Typical subjects: Advanced Road and Airfield Design; Pavement Maintenance and Repair Techniques; Traffic Flow and Safety Engineering; Airport Infrastructure Planning; Environmental Impact and Sustainability in Transport; Construction Project Management; Practical Training / Laboratory Work.
You tackle real-life challenges in designing and maintaining roads and runways. You learn to ensure safety, sustainability, and efficiency in transport infrastructure projects.

Year 4 – Professional Practice & Industry Projects
The final year emphasizes internships, applied projects, and integration of all skills.
Typical subjects: Airport and Highway Project Development; Advanced Construction Management; Infrastructure Quality Control and Safety; Internship / Industry Practice; Bachelor Thesis / Final Project; Regulatory Standards and International Guidelines.
You apply your knowledge during internships and final projects. By graduation, you can design, manage, and maintain highways and airfields, ready to work on major transport and aviation infrastructure projects worldwide.

Overview

The program trains students to design, construct, and maintain roads, runways, and associated infrastructure for both ground and aviation transport. The program combines civil engineering, construction technologies, transport logistics, and infrastructure management to prepare professionals who can ensure safe and efficient movement of people and goods.
Students gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills in pavement design, airfield construction, traffic management, materials science, and safety standards. This program is ideal for students who want to work on the infrastructure that supports aviation and transport systems worldwide.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of Highways and Airfields can work in: Airport and runway construction and maintenance; Road and highway engineering projects; Infrastructure planning and logistics companies; Transport and aviation safety agencies; Construction consulting and project management firms.
Roles may include: Airfield and highway engineer, Pavement and infrastructure specialist, Construction project manager, Transport infrastructure consultant, Safety and quality control engineer.
Graduates leave with practical experience, technical knowledge, and skills in modern construction and transport infrastructure, ready to contribute to airports, highways, and transport systems worldwide.
