Entirely depends on the university, there is a wide range. What grades are you expecting to get? Are you studying maths and physics (usually required), plus one other.

And yes you can. Although entry requirements for mech are similar to aero.

You'll need A levels or equivalent in Maths and Physics, usually A*AA or AAA overall though there are unis which require less and a couple which require more.

Yes you can do Mechanical first then specialise in Aero, either via the university offering it as a specialisation, them having the Mech and aero students on a common core, or doing an MSc. My word of warning regarding this would be that you could miss out on a lot of content which you would've done if you had done just Aero. At many unis you can't transfer between the two courses because the differences are so large.

In that case you may have to go via the foundation year route.

Although Staffordshire might be within reach

There may be others too. Use this to find some universities, start at the bottom and work up...
