Hello all, I am trying to search for different areas to do masters which would match my interests. I am broadly interested in , fluids (aligned to general aerodynamics) especially compressible fluids , turbomachinery, rockets. I am thinking to work in some sector related to gas turbines or jet engines or related to aero plane engines, or space sector. There seem to be few different specializations which cover them more or less. And I think I won't be able to do a masters course which covers all of them, I want to know which would be a better masters course for me to apply to so that I would still have choice to work in any of the above mentioned areas
