Industrial engineering?
Anyone else doing it? heard of it?
I like the course but what are your opinions? Should I go for this or aerospace?
Its considered to be the most easiest of all engineering but very broad with many career options. So I am really not sure, afaik its about honing production methods/systems of organisations. I very much find that part exciting. I've never talked to anyone doing it so.

Can't really advise you but it looks like only 3 unis offer it. Which suggests it might be a rather less popular option...

Hil! thanks for the link!
I have an option for aerospace but I really liked the stuff you could do with an industrial engineering degree? What is your opinion of it (if you can advise me as you must be knowing a lot about engineering? I also have another for physics?

Well you can do a lot with Aero also. Stay with Aero - or do Mech if you want to be more broadly based.

Ah can't do mech, Id applied but the uni has a bad reputation. So I withdrew my application. Seriously it was that bad.
Thank you! I really liked the stuff Id read about it on the net though, so we'll see.
Edit: sorry what you mean you cna do a a lot with aero? I thought it was a specialisation limited to working in aero/aviation?

It would be an attractive degree to any engineering employer. E.g. an aerodynamicist at an F1 team...
Is the course accredited?

No! It says accredition planned but the uni has great partnerships with big companies in the region.. I didn;t know accredition was such a big deal?
they offer an internship as part of the 4 year program.

It's not a common degree in the UK. It's not unlikely that some employers won't even know what it is. I think you're better off sticking with a more traditional engineering discipline, which will widen your job prospects.
It's true that it's broad and offers many career options. You get to improve how things are made and make processes more efficient. If you find that exciting, go for it! Aerospace engineering is also great if you're into airplanes and space stuff. Both have different focuses, so think about what you enjoy more.
