Engineering, technology and management of air transport

What will you learn?

We will prepare you for regulated professions in airlines. You can volutarily obtain the professional licenses that are necessary for specific professions. As most professions in aviation are regulated, your studies will simultaneously meet the requirements and standards of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which are contained in designated documents of the Faculty of Transport Engineering and confirmed by Certificates for training and testing of aircraft maintenance technicians (MTO) and aeroplane and helicopter pilot training (ATO). The aim of the study is to provide the necessary theoretical and practical training of university-educated professionals for performing regulated professions in airlines with the possibility of working in professional positions and middle management positions. The study is focused on theoretical courses, vocational courses and practical skills. All graduates must have a good knowledge of general and professional English.

Linking theory to practice

An integral part of the study is a mandatory internship in selected companies (for 12 weeks, 40 hours each), work on specific projects from practice in lessons, experts from practice participating in lessons of professional courses and workshops, possible further practical lessons and internships in companies (beyond the scope of compulsory internships), bachelor's theses directly assigned by companies or state administration institutions.
