Help with Aerospace/mech engineering Postgraduate courses

A

Hi there,
My name's Angelo,24yrs old, from Italy. I'm looking forward to attend a Msc in the Uk and I've already managed to get plenty of offers from a lot of institutes in the country. I hold a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering.

I would really appreciate if someone could give me some advice or suggestions about these universities and the relative master courses i've selected (they are all taught prog.):

Glasgow University: AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING or AERO. ENG. WITH MANAGEMENT
Sheffield University: Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Eng. with Industrial Management
Loughborough: Mechanical Engineering
University of Birmingham: Advanced Mechanical Engineering
University of Liverpool: Aerospace and Mechanical System Engineering
University of Manchester: Aerospace Engineering (Still pending)
University of Nottingham: They Have rejected my request for Mech.Eng. and offered me a place in their"new" Aerospace Technologies MSc..(what the hell is that?)

Amongst the others,I've discarded the Swansea,Queen Mary and Brunels for Aerospace Engineering Msc.

Imho I have no doubt to choose Sheffield.. the problem is that ttuition fees rocketed to 10000£ this year!!!!!

I would truly need to know which one is the most renowed and well considered University by employers.
To be more clear, I want to work abroad and in particular I'd really love to work in a defence/aerospace industry.

Thanks in advance to who is going to help me...

Hi Angelo, welcome to the forum!

All the universities you have listed are very well renowned in the UK and abroad, and a masters degree from any one of them would be a great career choice. I think if you have a masters degree from anywhere, it makes you stand out to employers, and an enthusiasm for your subject is the main quality you need to show organisations.

I do know someone who did Aerospace Engineering at Sheffield University and he now works in the US so there are definitely job prospects in your field. Good luck!
