The study focuses on theoretical subjects, professional subjects and practical skills. All graduates must have a good knowledge of general and professional English.
Theoretical background
Knowledge in theoretical disciplines of aircraft engineering, such as aerodynamics, flight mechanics, engine theory, aviation materials, aircraft manufacturing technology, aircraft operations, navigation and flight control systems, avionics and instrumentation, aircraft maintenance and others. Together with language preparation, they will provide students with a broad overview of the studied field of aviation and good preparation for entry into practice.
Practical application of acquired knowledge
The curriculum includes the completion of a compulsory professional practice. The professional practice aims to verify and apply knowledge and skills that students acquire in the classroom. The internship prepares you for the profession after graduation and allows an easier transition into practice while gaining the required experience during your studies. Furthermore, you can gain information that can be used to prepare your bachelor's thesis or find your future employer.
