Goals of the Educational Programme

The goal of the Educational Programme is to obtain in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge, abilities, skills and other competences sufficient for the effective implementation of innovative tasks in the field of design, manufacture, operation, maintenance and repair of non-traction rail rolling stock, as well as the development of new knowledge to solve professional problems. The educational and scientific program necessarily includes a research (scientific) component.

Learning goals:

– training of specialists capable of comprehensive solving of complex specialized scientific, applied, practical problems of a research and/or innovative nature characterized by the complexity and uncertainty of the conditions in the field of design, manufacture, operation, maintenance and repair of non-traction rail rolling stock;

– providing the possibility of creative personal self-actualization by creating an educational environment inspiring self-understanding, formation of self-esteem, self-development, based on academic freedom, mobility, good faith and student-centred education;

-. acquisition of social skills in business communication, management as an element of professional activity of a specialist.

Object of study: the life cycle processes of railway facilities (non-traction rail rolling stock).

Students in the Educational Programme

The educational program will be interesting for those who plan to commit themselves to the design, manufacture, repair, maintenance and operation of modern passenger and cargo cars; to conduct research in this area; for those who seek to master one of the most important and classic professions of railway transport – mechanical engineer of non-traction rail rolling stock. This is especially true now, when the links of three international transport corridors Europe-Asia will be laid across the territory of independent Ukraine. Therefore, it is quite understandable that passenger and cargo high-speed rolling stock of Western European and Asian countries will be successfully operated in these areas, and the demand for professionals with our specialization will grow significantly. The program is also useful for those who aspire to continue their studies at the third (educational and scientific) level of higher education

Training under the program provides knowledge, skills and abilities, the ability to apply knowledge and form judgments as follows

  • knowledge and understanding of modern methods of scientific research, organization and planning of experiment, computerized methods of research and processing of results.
  • solving research problems in the creation, operation, repair and recycling of railcars, including cross-sectoral ones with related branches, engineering sciences, physics, ecology and economics.
  • ability to freely present and discuss scientific results in the official language and in English or in one of the languages of the European Union, in oral and written form.
  • developing and offering new technical solutions for the creation, operation, repair and recycling of cars and apply new technologies.
