Question
i am doing B.Tech from electrical engineering and i want to go ms in aerospace. how it is possible for me?Is there all areas of specialization in it is open for me to chose or i have limited option?


Answer
Hi Prasant

You may be able to go into aerospace, but if you were applying here we would definitely have a concern that you have no previous aerospace experience, and would struggle with the material. On that basis I doubt if we could offer you a place. Our aerospace MSc is not a conversion course, but is aimed at both broadening and deepening existing knowledge. It may be worthwhile you looking at avionics rather than straight aerospace engineering, as you would be better equipped. We don't do that particular subject here, but a number of other universities do. Good luck.
