Question
Hi,
I have done my 12 grade and wish to pursue Aeronautical Engineering but unfortunately i didnt have mathematics as a subject. Is it possible that i can do Aero. Engg.? Can i do  diploma and then a degree.
I would also like to know the difference between Aeronautical engineering and aerospace engineering.

Answer
Hi Najeeb

Unfortunately we don't accept students onto our aerospace programmes without Maths, as you just wouldn't survive. We don't do diploma courses here at the University of Hertfordshire, but I believe some Universities do, so it may be worth looking round for them.

What we CAN offer is Aerospace Technology and Management, which is specially designed for people like yourself, who have the 'wrong' subjects for entry onto an engineering programme. You may wish to check out our website to see the details at

There's no difference between aerospace and aeronautical engineering these days - aerospace is a more modern title, and more accurately reflects the spread of subjects covered.

If you are interested in applying to us, come back to me and I can put you in touch with our admissions tutor.
