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 engineering.

Teaching is primarily lecture-based,with students also completing coursework and laboratory exercises,attending tutorials and participating in field trips.Group work and group design work may be an element,with independent study expected in all degree programs and assesment divided between examinations and course work projects Depending may be able to attend lectures fectures given by experts in the aerospace industry and even experience rides in a flight simulator.
