Help aircrafts to the skies
The aviation field is primarily evolving worldwide through advancements in aviation technology.
This industry encompasses the production of aircraft and their components, unmanned and green aviation, and the development of innovative software solutions.
The Aeronautical Engineering curriculum consists of two highly important directions:
- Aircraft Engineering and
- Aviation Information and Telecommunication Technology.
This curriculum is taught exclusively in Estonian in a form of daytime studies. The study period is 4 years, and if one studies full-time, the study is free.
We welcome foreign students through Erasmus+ programme or to study in our international programmes.
Aircraft engineers are involved in the design, development, and maintenance of manned and unmanned aircraft, their components, and communication systems.
Since the design, testing, and safe operation of aircraft require comprehensive knowledge in various engineering fields, aircraft engineers typically specialize in a specific area, such as aerodynamics, aircraft structures, engines, avionics systems, manufacturing, operational procedures, continuous airworthiness, or maintenance.
What is necessary to apply?
We only take into account the results of Estonian state exams. The required results cannot be replaced by foreign exam results. We also consider state exams in mathematics or physics taken before 2014.
English language skills must correspond to at least level B1 defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Language skills.
About the studies
The studies are conducted in the Aviation Academy classrooms, within the premises of Tartu Airport in the aircraft hangar, and in various aircraft manufacturing and/or maintenance organizations in Estonia and elsewhere in Europe.
Through practical tasks, students become familiar with aircraft construction, inspection, and maintenance, as well as the use of measuring tools and instruments. They acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills to design and build unmanned aerial vehicles.
Estonian Aviation Academy has a very good student and lecturer ratio (9.6 students per lecturer), which enables us to provide personal and higher quality teaching in a friendly environment.
Our campus is situated next to Tartu Airport, you can have a closer look by clicking on our virtual tour.
In addition, the acquired skills and practical experience enable the alumnus to become an entrepreneur or to find work in other fields, such as the automotive industry, manufacturing and technology companies, and other areas that require engineering expertise.
With the obtained diploma, studies can also be continued at the master's level in other universities both in Estonia and abroad.
Over 1000 alumni have graduated from the academy, many of whom are now pilots with well-regarded airlines, top-level engineers, airline executives in airports, airlines, and government agencies.
Today, the graduates are shaping the future of aviation both in Estonia and abroad.
The future of aviation starts here!
