Difference between...Hi guys,
I don't understand something.
http://www.manchester.ac.uk/undergra...se/?code=03826
http://www.manchester.ac.uk/undergra...se/?code=03333
As you can see, these are both about aerospace engineering. But one is a master and the other a bachelor, if i'm still in high school, which one do i have to take?
The bachelor requires less grades(AAB) than the master(AAA), why?
Thanks you! -

Re: Difference between...Masters is more difficult and requires more time than a Bachelors that is the reason for the higher requirement.(Original post by Stodaire)

Re: Difference between...There's a couple of things to weigh up when deciding which course, whilst the entry requirements are higher most people choose whether to do BEng or MEng at the end of 2nd year regardless of which programme you are on.
However by signing up to the MEng programme you're guaranteed the funding for all 4 years. Whilst highly unlikely they'll refuse the funding for that 4th year it's apparently a pain in the arse to get.
I'm not actually an engineering student but have numerous friends who are doing aero and basically just sharing with you what they have told me -

Re: Difference between...In order to become a chartered Engineer you must obtain a Masters degree in an accredited course, If this is something that interests you then you should apply for the MEng.
I'm currently an Engineering student at Manchester and applied for the BEng at first and whilst here have swapped to the MEng, It wasn't a difficult process and had no problems with student finance at all.
As the MEng is what's known as a combined undergraduate masters degree, the course will take four years to complete and you will leave with a combined Masters, which fulfills the academic requirements for the IET (Accreditation body for some engineering disciplines, although for Aero it may be the IMechE, although I'm not sure)
