Activities of teaching and learning:
Material of the study module is mastered both during classroom activities and individual work. Classroom activities include lectures, group research and practical work. Individual work is comprised of studying of theoretical material, preparation for lectures, group research and practical work, midterms and exam. It also includes preparation of homework, projects and other activities aimed at gaining knowledge, skills and abilities. The study programme is completed by final project of the Master’s degree studies.

Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Knowledge, abilities and skills to be acquired by the student in the course of the study programme are assessed and entered into the databases twice: during assessment of the student’s independent work (positive or negative assessment) and during the exam session (grade under the ten-point scale).
Framework:
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
The following subjects are studied by the future graduates: Computational Aerodynamics, Reliability of Aircraft and Safety Assessment, Design of Conventional and Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Stability and Control of Aircrafts, Flight Control Systems, Telecommunications and Navigation and other subjects. 16 subjects are studied in total. Practice is not provided in the study programme.

Specialisations:
-
Optional courses:
In the second and third semester, students may choose 30 credits from alternative module packages Engineering of Conventional and Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Space Engineering and Exploration

Distinctive features of a study programme:
The genuine interdisciplinary program is used to prepare highly qualified engineers-researchers in aeronautics, able to evaluate, solve problems related to design and application of aviation and space aircrafts (conventional and unmanned aircrafts, rockets and space satellites).
