The Academy of Applied Sciences in Piła is opening a course – drone studies – from the new academic year. Recruitment will begin in June and classes will start in October. In the course of their studies, students will be introduced to knowledge of both drone piloting and the construction of drones or how they can be used in specific industries.
“Students at the Piła Academy of Applied Sciences will be trained in the construction and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. Here, they will gain a thorough education in mechanics and mechanical engineering, enriched with theoretical knowledge and practical experience related to the piloting of unmanned aircraft of various types,” reports Dr Marta Chudzicka-Adamczak, head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Academy of Applied Sciences in Piła.
According to a representative of the academy, as part of the specialisation, the studies also prepare students to take an exam at the Training Centre, granting the UAVs pilot’s licence. The academy provides its students with a one-time approach to the exam.
