Aviation Engineering

What is taught in this field

Students of Aviation Engineering learn the fundamentals of designing, manufacturing and operating aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Core subjects include mathematics, physics, theoretical mechanics, aerodynamics, flight theory, aircraft structures, aviation engines, strength of materials and materials science, as well as electrical engineering, aviation instruments and avionics.

Practical skills receive special attention: calculation and modelling, technical drawing and computer-aided design, working with technical documentation, and the basics of equipment inspection and maintenance. Through laboratory sessions and practical training, students connect theoretical knowledge with real engineering systems.

What graduates become

Graduates can work as aviation engineers. Their professional paths include maintenance and repair engineer for aircraft and their systems, aircraft design engineer, specialist in production and quality control, aviation engine technician, avionics systems engineer, and research specialist.

Where graduates can work

Aviation engineers are needed at airlines, airports, aircraft repair and maintenance enterprises, design bureaus and manufacturing organizations serving the aviation industry. Opportunities also exist in government bodies overseeing the aviation sector, as well as in educational and research institutions. Specialists in this field are important for the transport system.

Who this field suits

This programme is especially suitable for applicants who are good at mathematics and physics, are interested in technology, and strive for logical thinking and precision. Interest in aircraft and flight technologies, teamwork skills and a sense of responsibility are also important qualities. Willingness to learn a foreign language will be helpful, since much of the technical documentation in the field is written in English.
