Automotive engineering is a branch of mechanical engineering that focuses on the design, development, manufacturing, and maintenance of all types of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and trucks. The specialization encompasses the study of vehicle mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems, aiming to improve performance, efficiency, and safety, with a focus on modern technologies such as renewable energy and autonomous driving.
The automotive engineering specialization focuses on the design of both conventional and modern engines, including electric and hybrid engines, and the study of advanced systems that control intelligent vehicles, such as stability control and autonomous driving systems. It also involves developing environmentally friendly vehicles and improving safety systems like airbags and driver assistance systems.
This field requires a deep understanding of mathematics and physics, as well as skills in using engineering design and data analysis software. Continuous skill development is essential to keep pace with the rapid technological advancements in this area.
Belarus has modern car factories that produce cars in cooperation with global companies such as Geely through the BelGee plant in Borisov, where modern cars are assembled for the local and international market.
The MAZ truck plant is the backbone of Belarus’s heavy vehicle industry, producing virtually all of the country’s trucks, buses, special vehicles, and transport equipment. Its products cover both the domestic and international markets, particularly Russia and Eastern Europe.
Founded in 1944 after World War II, it has become one of the largest truck manufacturers in the region, employing over 16,000 people.
Its products are exported to numerous countries, solidifying Belarus’s position as a major exporter of heavy vehicles and serving as a prime example of Belarus’s ability to meet its domestic industrial needs while simultaneously exporting its expertise abroad.
Belarus Tractors Plant (MTZ) produces world-renowned tractors; one in ten tractors worldwide is produced in Belarus.
Founded in 1946, it is one of the largest tractor manufacturers in Europe and the world. Known globally as Belarus Tractors, a well-known brand in over 100 countries, the plant employs more than 17,000 people and is a cornerstone of Belarus’s agricultural industry.
MTZ stands as a symbol of national industry, demonstrating Belarus’s global competitiveness in agricultural equipment. Its products and expertise are exported to dozens of countries, solidifying Belarus’s position as a leading industrial power in mechanical and agricultural engineering.
The giant BelAZ company in Belarus produces the world’s largest mining trucks, such as the BelAZ 75710, which can carry up to 450 tons and is listed in the Guinness World Records.
The BelAZ 75710 is not only enormous, but it redefines the concept of industrial scale. Powered by two 65-liter diesel engines and equipped with eight massive tires, each approximately 4 meters high, it utilizes an electric drive system to distribute its enormous load. The truck is primarily used in iron ore and coal mines, where efficiency and sheer size are paramount. To put its scale into perspective, its 450-ton payload is equivalent to carrying seven fully loaded Airbus A320 aircraft.
Accredited education, at affordable costs, in a safe and multicultural environment.
Engineering programs are taught entirely in English, meaning students don't need to learn Russian before starting their studies. This saves time and makes the academic transition much smoother.
When we say "programs taught entirely in English," we mean that students will find everything—from lectures and textbooks to exams and projects—in English, opening up vast opportunities for learning and working globally without needing to master a new local language.
The university offers student housing specifically for international students at an annual cost of approximately $380. Located near campus, the housing includes single or double rooms with basic amenities such as internet access, heating, and a kitchen. For more information, please visit the student housing page.
Generally, international students in Belarus are not permitted to work full-time while studying. However, they can work part-time in limited fields, such as delivery services, restaurant services, or technical support, provided they obtain an official work permit. We can assist students with this, but we advise all students to focus on their studies, as engineering programs are intensive and require full-time commitment.
Belarus is one of the safest and most stable countries in Europe, offering a multicultural environment that welcomes international students. Daily life is easy and comfortable, with readily available transportation, internet access, and essential amenities at reasonable prices. International students can easily adapt thanks to the diverse and supportive student community. For more information, please visit the Study & Life in Belarus page.
