Question
Dear Sir,
Im Hassan currently studying in a Year 0 in University of Glamorgan, Wales UK. I am confused rather to continue my education with Aircraft maintenance, Aeronautical or Aerospace. I have read your recent reply to that indian guy about the difference between Aircraft Maintenance and Aeronautical.

Can you give me details about the best course for me as I would like to work for Airport and Airlines after my graduation or Masters. Kindly give me details accordingly as I will be looking for jobs around the world.

Answer
Hassan

Which course is best depends on what you want to do when you graduate, and your question isn't specific enough to alow me to help you. Please let me know exactly the area you would like to work in and I'll answer your question as best I can.

Regards

Ray
