Entering a Masters program in Aerospace Engineering

AI Thread Summary
Switching from a physics major to aerospace engineering is feasible, but it typically requires completing additional engineering courses to catch up on foundational knowledge. A full bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering may not be necessary, depending on the specific program and institution. The University of Toronto is mentioned as having a strong aerospace program. Other Canadian universities may also offer pathways for this transition. It's important to research individual program requirements for a smooth switch.

Hello people,
I am a physics major in Canada, and I was just wondering if its possible to make the switch to aerospace engineering after doing a bachelor's in physics. Will I just have to take a couple of extra courses? or will I have to get a bachelor's in Aerospace as well. If it is possible, could you guys also give me the names of the universities where you think I will be able to do this? Preferable in Canada.

Thanks.

It can be done. You wouldn't have much trouble except, as you know, you'd have to play catch up with a fair amount of engineering classes first.

I hear U of T has a great program.
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
