Education in English

The Program “Education in English” in the National Aviation University was launched in 1999. Since English is one of the official languages of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) it is very important to get professional education in English for future specialists in the field of aviation.

It has to be also mentioned that operation of modern aircraft produced by the Boeing and the Airbus manufactures in Ukraine airlines favors development of the education in English. As long as all engineering documentation for these aircraft is written in English, the training of Ukrainian aviation experts is also performed in English at Bachelors and Master programs. In this case English advanced study is becoming the barest necessity.

Education in English gives the chance:

• to become proficient in English special terminology;
• to participate in the international scientific and technical symposia, conferences, seminars;
• to communicate and collaborate with scientists from different countries;
• to work in the international aviation institutions;
• to take part in the development of international standards, manuals and other documentation;
• to find a job in any country of the world.
