Aeronautical Engineering

A Bachelor’s Degree program in Aeronautical Engineering in English is now available for international students. Aeronautical engineering focuses on how aircraft are designed, constructed and powered, as well as on how they are used and controlled so that they operate safely.

Year 1

• Mathematics
• Physics 
• Introduction to aerospace engineering
• Mechanics
• Statistics
• Materials

Year 2

• Advanced mathematics
• Metrology and standardization
• Electrical engineering
• Advanced mechanics

Years 3 and 4

The 3rd year of this program will be divided into 4 modules:

1. Aircraft Engineering.
2. Aircraft Engines.
3. Electronic Engineering and Avionics.
4. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) in Aircraft Manufacturing.

Further study will depend on what module you choose from the beginning. From the 3rd year onwards you will begin to deal with some of the advanced concepts in aeronautics, engines and electronics. These include the study of flight dynamics and flight control, aircraft power plants, aerohydrodynamics, control systems and technologies, and sensing technologies. Half of the 4th year will be devoted to project work. Individual project work allows you to apply the knowledge you have gained during your studies to a specific problem in aeronautical engineering. You will take part in practical laboratories and carry out different experiments using modern, state of the art equipment.
