Aerospace Engineering Offers: Bath, Loughborough, Manchester

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student weighing offers for Aerospace Engineering from Bath, Loughborough, and Manchester, with a looming decision deadline. The student expresses a preference for Manchester due to its appealing course content and city life, despite its lower ranking (15th) compared to Bath (7th) and Loughborough (5th) in the Times Good University Guide 2010. Participants suggest considering the quality of teaching and personal attention available at larger institutions like Manchester. The student expresses concern about Bath's curriculum, which is shared with other engineering disciplines in the first two years, but ultimately decides to accept Bath's offer, citing its strong reputation and positive feedback from current students. The discussion highlights the importance of university rankings, course structure, and student satisfaction in making a decision.

Hello,

I am currently holding offers for Aerospace Engineering from the following unis:

Bath
Loughborough
Manchester

My reply date is tomorrow and I am having a hard time deciding which offer to accept.
Personally I'm attracted to Manchester the most (I like the course content, the city, etc.) but I'm not sure how the quality of teaching compares to the other two since Manchester ranks worse in league tables. e.g. Bath is 7th, Manchester 15th in Aero in Times Good Uni guide 2010.

Could you, please share your opinion on this?
Thanks

Sorry, I know this is late, but I'd suppose Loughborough is the better choice. After all, isn't it ranked 5th in UK? And manchester is a rather large university, and I'd wonder how much personal attention you could receive...
 
Abraham,
thanks for your reply, nope its not late, i have to reply today :)

How about Bath? It ranks even better in the tables. The only thing I don't like is that it follows the same curriculum as the mechanical/civil/manufacturing/etc. engineering courses in the first two years. But then again, it might be good.

I actually haven't looked at Bath as a school, but usually mech and aero degrees have the first two years in common. So, which one did you decide on? Good luck with your studies BalintRigo...
 
Thank you Abraham!

I chose Bath. It ranks among the best unis in Aero eng. I know a few people that go there and they are all very satisfied. Bristol is also very by with companies like Airbus, Rolls Royce and a lot of students go for placement there.

Any other opinions? Maybe someone who studies Engineering in Manchester?
