                                  Yours sincerely,

I can only speak for the U.S. system. In this country none of those choices would be suitable for graduate work in aeronautics.  To enter a masters program in aeronautical engineering most schools require a B.S. in aeronautical engineering, mechanical engineering, or possibly physics.  Check with your school of choice for details.
