Entrance Exam Description

Subjects of the exam: English Language, specialty exam.

Program Structure

The curriculum is designed to provide a gradual progression from foundational sciences to specialized aviation knowledge:

1. General Foundation CoursesBuild essential engineering groundwork: Mathematics (Calculus, Linear Algebra, Statistics); Physics and Mechanics; Technical English and Communication; Materials Science fundamentals.
These courses ensure a solid base for later technical mastery.

2. Core Aviation Engineering Subjects
Develop professional aviation skills and understanding: Aerodynamics of Aircraft — principles of airflow and lift; Aircraft Structures and Mechanics — design and strength analysis; Flight Mechanics and Dynamics — movement and stability of flying vehicles; Aircraft Engines & Power Systems — propulsion basics; Navigation and Avionics Systems — essential instruments and systems.
Through these core disciplines, students learn both theory and practice for real‑world aerospace challenges.

3. Applied Labs and Practical Activities
Hands‑on workshops, labs and design exercises allow students to work with models, simulation tools, CAD systems and real equipment used in aircraft engineering — giving practical experience to complement theoretical knowledge.

4. Elective and Specialization Options
Students can choose elective courses that broaden their expertise in areas such as: Advanced aircraft propulsion; Composite materials and manufacturing; Aircraft systems design; Future aerospace technologies.
This flexibility lets students tailor their degree toward specific professional goals.

5. Final Capstone Project
In the final year, students complete an individual degree project that synthesizes their learning into a comprehensive engineering solution — often related to aircraft design, performance, analysis, or systems integration.

Overview

The program prepares engineers capable of understanding, designing, analyzing and working with modern aircraft and helicopter systems, combining strong engineering fundamentals with hands‑on technical practice.
Studying this program means developing core competencies in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, materials, propulsion, flight mechanics and aviation systems — all essential for careers in aerospace engineering and aviation industries.
