Moscow Aviation Institute (State University of Aerospace Technologies) offers teaching and scientific research at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels in modern engineering technologies and construction and design of various flying vehicles and aerospace systems for the aircraft and aerospace industry. Here you can obtain engineering education in full spectrum of aerospace specialties and pass an introductory pilot training at MAI airdrome (no pilot certification afterwards, sorry). Undergraduates have an opportunity for practicing in a broad range of professions: from shop steward to general designer.
Why study at MAI?
- Level and quality of teaching are well known both in Russia and worldwide throughout aircraft and aerospace institutions, design offices, industrial enterprises and companies, flight control centers, scientific research centers.
- Courses at the institute offer superb instruction at the theoretical level as well as numerous opportunities for practical application.
