Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Choose the Faculty of Aviation and Space Sciences at Ankara Science University?

The Faculty of Aviation and Space Sciences at Ankara Science University brings together the departments of Pilot Training, Aeronautical Engineering, Air Traffic Control, and Aviation Management within the same academic structure, addressing aviation through its technical, operational, and managerial dimensions. Its location in Ankara provides students with access to a strong sectoral environment where they can closely follow developments in the aviation, space, and defense industries. The University’s infrastructure supporting research and project development, department-specific Erasmus+ agreements, and the SHGM KDM e-Examination Center, where examinations for aviation personnel are administered, also contribute to students’ academic and professional development.

What Do Students Gain from Having Pilot Training, Aeronautical Engineering, Air Traffic Control, and Aviation Management within the Same Faculty?

Having all four departments within the same faculty allows students to understand the relationships among the different professional fields that make up the aviation system during their education. Aircraft design, flight operations, movement within the airspace, and aviation management are interconnected processes. Joint academic activities, seminars, case studies, and interdisciplinary projects help students understand the responsibilities of other aviation fields alongside their own area of study, communicate effectively with different professional teams, and evaluate professional decisions from a broader perspective.

What Is the SHGM KDM e-Examination Center at the University, and What Is It Used For?

The KDM e-Examination Center at Ankara Science University is one of the official examination centers authorized by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Licensing and certification examinations for aviation personnel who meet the relevant application requirements are administered electronically at the Center. Application, examination date, and center selection procedures are carried out through SHGM’s KDM-ORG system. The Center provides a standardized and proctored environment for examinations scheduled by SHGM.
