National Aviation University

The National Aviation University dates its origins back to 1933 with the Kyiv Aviation Institute’s enrolment of students across four faculties: operational, aircraft, engine and ground structures.

In 1934, it became the Voroshilov Kyiv Aviation Institute of Civil Air Fleet. In 2000, by the decree of the President of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, national university status was awarded, creating the National Aviation University as it is known today.
