Well, I've finally been asked by the sausage machine educational system to think about what college courses I want to do, and as Aero engineering is the only thing on the CAO form that interests me, that's what I'm putting down. However, there's a snag. There's only two AE courses on the Irish isle, One in Limerick and one in Belfast. If I want more choice, I must go to the UK. I've looked them up, and I see 150 courses, pretty much covering all major cities. So, if I do end up going to the UK, then that means it's a matter of choosing which city I'd like to spend a few years in (and, of course, the quality of the course)
However, I've been told that if I got an MEng from Uni of Limerick's AE course, then that'd hold more weight than a UK MEng (all this stuff about Concorde being tested at Shannon).
So, my current line of thinking is this: Limerick as 1st choice, but put down a few UK courses in case Limerick has no space. Belfast goes on the list, but now I've to choose between London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, or Farnborough.
Can anyone recommend uni in one city over another? As far as I can see, all these courses are the same, so I'm basing my UK course decision on quality of uni life.
Have I gone seriously wrong in my chain-of-thought?
