Aeronautical engineering degrees represent the branch of engineering the deals with the research design,development,construction,testing,science and technology of aircraft.The field also covers investigation into aerodynamic characterstics of aircraft,including behaviors and related factors such as airfail control surfaces,lift and drag in recent years.Aeronautical engineering has become one of two major and overlapping branches of aerospace engineering,with astronautical engineering being the second.

If your fascinated by the history and methodology behind flying machines-from Leonardo Da Vinci's early conceptual sketches and the Wright brothers famous flight of 1903 through to the sophistication and progress of modern jets-aeronautical engineering could be the degree for you.

You'll usually find aeronautical engineering degrees refered to as a BEng(Bachelor of Engineering) and MEng(Masters in Engineering).Aeronautical engineering degrees at the under graduate level usually last three or four years,but many institutions allow students to progress directly into a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering extending the course length by additional year or two.

In such cases,BEng and MEng students take the courses for the first two or three years,and suitably well-performing students then continue with the BEng for one more advanced MEng for two years.Some institutions may also allowe for this transfer in the first or second year of the BEng degree program while others allow post-secondary candidates to enroll in a MEng straight away.A few institutions also offer associate degree programs,but these usually are reserved for practicing engineering professionals who have already graduated in a related field and want to change careers into aeronautical engineeri ...

You'll need to be highly compatent in mathmatics and physics in order to apply-expect your competency in these two subjects to be regorously tested and if your degree is taught in english and you are an international student,you may need to prove your proficiency through a standardized exam such as the IELTS or take an English language course prior to commencing your degree in order to obtain a student visa or entry into the program.
