Many years ago - like a lifetime - at City University Aircraft Engineering course were about maintenance, performance, operation, structures, etc so biased towards airline jobs. Aeronautical Eng was about aerodynamics, stability & control, structures, etc so was more biased towards working for a manufacturer. I did aero eng and went to work for BAE at Warton. We had little contact with guys doing Air Eng who went to work for BA.
You could ask questions of your college like that - who could I work for with this qualification?
