Can I get into aeronautical engineering with a bachelour in Geoscience

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Transitioning from a Bachelor of Science in Applied Geoscience to a Master's in Aeronautical Engineering is feasible but requires significant additional coursework. Candidates must address gaps in foundational subjects such as mechanics, thermodynamics, and material science. This transition is a substantial leap, necessitating a commitment to complete undergraduate prerequisites to ensure a solid understanding of core engineering principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Fundamentals of mechanics
  • Thermodynamics principles
  • Material science basics
  • Engineering mathematics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research undergraduate courses in mechanics and thermodynamics
  • Explore material science textbooks and resources
  • Review engineering mathematics topics relevant to aeronautical engineering
  • Investigate master's program requirements for aeronautical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Prospective students considering a career shift into aeronautical engineering, particularly those with a background in geoscience or physics seeking to understand necessary prerequisites.

Hello guys, I have 1 simple question,

Would I be able to get into Aeronautical Engineering (for my masters) after completing a Bachelour of science in Applied Geoscience with a minor in Theoretical Physics?

Thanks in advance.

Probably, with the understanding that you will be looking at taking a LOT of undergraduate work to fill in holes in your background. This is quite a big jump you are proposing, and to be fair, you will be lacking an awful lot of background material in mechanics, thermodynamics, and material science at the very least. Good luck.
