Don't know anyone on here who does Aero at Loughborough.
Yh i am having problems finding any aerospace engineering students at the unis im looking at on TSR. No luck with Bath,Bristol or Southampton aero students as well.

Yeah unlucky. I don't know anyone on here who even does Aerospace Engineering. They're good university choices though.

Hi Omzie
We don't do aerospace engineering here - we do aeronautical engineering. What is it you wanted to know? What it's like in general or something more specific?
Can anyone give me a review of Loughborough university aero department?
I have a friend there but he is doing an MSc renewable energy tech tho.
I've been to Loughborough myself and met the professors from the engineering department and all I can say is its a fantastic university with great facilities.

I guess I already knew that then lol. Is that it? I'd prefer Aeronautical then but I think places like Leeds do Aerospace/Aeronautical.
It's a bit like mechanical and automotive...their quite similar but one is more specialised towards a certain aspect.
In Aerospace you'll do stuff like space/spacecraft mechanics, satellite systems etc. it's more broad because you're not just studying aircraft per say you're also looking at the mechanics/dynamics of things like rockets.
Aerospace engineering generally covers 2 areas - aeronautical engineering (flight within the atmosphere) and astronautical engineering (flight outside of the atmosphere). So if you're looking at doing Aerospace engineering- you'd get the chance to do both aeronautical and astronautical. Although we do touch on aerospace in a couple of modules - it's not to the same level as doing an aerospace degree

Are you a prospective applicant?
Ohh right. No, I'm only in first year of A-Levels lol. Oh, I thought Aeronautical was more broad.

As @trapking (thanks for your input ) said - aerospace is broader because you get to cover both. Aeronautical is more specialised.
As you look at different unis and what they offer, you may get a better idea of which route you want to go down. Have a look at module listing - it will give you a good idea of what each course offers - you can then compare and choose which you think you'd be most interested in.

Any more questions - ask away, always happy to help.

For your BEng Aeronautical Engineering your offer is AAB and for MEng it's A*AA. Why is MEng that much higher than BEng? Typically it's only a grade higher to get into MEng.
Ohh ok. You're a mechanical engineering graduate aren't you? I heard that Engineering jobs have bad graduate salaries.
Yes I am (I wanted to do Aerospace actually back when I was in A-levels but how things have changed ....I'm now about to embark on an MSc in Subsea Engineering/Offshore Engineering).
And it depends really they are a lot of factors but jobs are very competitive nowadays. I only just rejected a job offer for £25k + international travel and that's with me only having a BEng.
