Abstract

This article mainly attempts to analyze the crucial role of language in higher education in the aerospace industry, especially regarding aviation safety. In the context of global competition in high-tech industries, the quality and attractiveness of specialized higher education are becoming a crucial factor in the success of Russian enterprises on the global market. This article aims to identify the key gaps between the expectations of students of the University of the aerospace industry and the opportunities that the university provides. The research was conducted using the online language and sociological survey among full-time students of the Moscow Aviation Institute (N=631). As a result of the survey, the most critical gaps between the expectations and actual learning outcomes relate to developing foreign language and competencies necessary for international communication and the development and implementation of complex technical projects in real life.
