which unis are the best for aerospace engg?

for someone looking to work further in either f1 or space industry. we'd appreciate any advice thanks!

Building a resume for a career in space engineering versus Formula 1 are quite different.
For a career in formula 1, you really need to demonstrate both a deep passion for motorsports and most graduates have some experience either at lower levels of motorsport, with motorsport suppliers or Formula student. Additionally you will be best off building specialist skills & expertise in the specific role you want.
For space, it’s challenging as this is quite niche, a lot of space technology is still developed in academia and a lot the private sector opportunities are in defence technology companies. There are other opportunities but a lot of companies often focus on very niche technology.

Honestly i was thinking about a role that overlaps, something like CFD, mechanical, materials or control systems. Im still in high school and only have a vague idea, but im willing to put in work. i also plan on joining FS and do anything im able to

There are some roles with overlap on a very high level but in practicality quite different, if you’re serious about Formula 1 id probably go very firmly for pursuing that industry in the role you are interested in and spend 4-5 years crafting the CV for that (F1 opportunities also massively benefit from having connections), the aerospace companies they are mostly giant defense & aircraft manufacturers who also do space technologies who would be more forgiving of an applicant with motorsport industry internships but F1 is so flooded with applicants/role whilst an internship at an aerospace giant is impressive they still have a huge number of applicants with placements in motorsports suppliers or formula student.

thanks for all the info! id want to go down the aerospace engg route either way and craft my cv more to motorsports!

Aerospace engineering will be fine, a lot of people who want to work in aerodynamics roles choose aerospace instead of mechanical (the physics is the same so it doesn’t make a great deal of difference), aerospace typically just teaches the application more tailored to aeronautical applications (for example in fluid mechanics mechanical engineering tends to do a wider breadth of fluids in aerospace degrees it’s very much aerodynamics focused).
There are lots of good universities for aerospace id look at:
