Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To develop aeronautical engineering specialists with a wide range of engineering knowledge and abilities. Capable of carrying out fundamental and applied research using knowledge-based, research-based aircraft mechanical, electrical, automated systems capable of understanding and addressing the challenges of aircraft management related to aviation industry. Upon completion of studies, the opportunity to study at doctoral level is granted.
Under this program, aeronautical specialists are trained - pilots of aircraft (airplanes and helicopters)
