Further study
IOE does not list a dedicated aerospace master's program, so graduates often go abroad for MSc study in aerospace, aeronautical or mechanical engineering. Within IOE, mechanical-related programs such as Mechanical Systems Design and Engineering are an option.
Where to study BAE
1 colleges teach BAE, including 1 IOE constituent campuses.
