Can I do masters in aeronautics after BMechE?

In summary, it is possible to pursue a master's degree in aeronautics after completing a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (BMechE). Most universities have specialized programs in aeronautics open to those with a background in mechanical engineering. Each university may have different requirements, but most consider applicants with a BMechE degree as long as they meet the minimum GPA requirement and have taken relevant courses. The duration of a master's in aeronautics varies, but on average it takes 1-2 years to complete a full-time program after a BMechE degree. Graduates with this degree can pursue various career paths in the aerospace industry, including roles such as aerospace engineer, aircraft designer, and research scientist. Having a

In many schools, aeronautical engineering is merely a specialization with mechanical engineering. There obviously is a good deal of overlap between the fields. You may need to take a few undergraduate classes to catch up on missed basics, particularly if you want to do something like trajectory planning that is a bit removed from mainstream mechanical engineering.

Yes, it is possible to pursue a Masters in Aeronautics after completing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Many universities offer graduate programs in aeronautics and aerospace engineering that are open to students with a background in mechanical engineering. However, it is important to note that admission into these programs may be competitive and may require additional coursework or experience in aeronautics. It would be beneficial to speak with an academic advisor or faculty member in your current program to discuss your interests and potential pathways to a graduate degree in aeronautics. Additionally, gaining experience through internships or research opportunities in the field of aeronautics can strengthen your application and prepare you for graduate studies. Best of luck in your academic journey.
