Thanks Genghis,
I've had a thorough look at their website before I wrote my initial post. It all looked pretty sound to me, but I didn't feel in a position to really judge their course offerings.
So if I understand correctly what you're saying, doing a course at Cranfield isn't just paying for some shiny certificate which won't have any value in the real world, but a wise decision.
Speaking of that, how would you rate my idea of pursuing such a degree in general, considering my position in life regarding academics as well as aviation? Am I daydreaming if I think there might be a possibility somewhere in aerospace to put to use what I'm learning now or not.
Brgds, MM
