So then, is it just me or do no Aero degrees in the UK bare any relevance to aircraft! This seems utterly stupid. I don't know about what it is like at QUB, but the majority of 1st years at Imperial have considered quitting at some stage this year!

I am seriously considering contacting the RAeS and asking/complaining about this. Surely a more aircraft orientated would:
1) Give people who want to be Aero engineers more useful experience

2) Keep them interested!

It seems that the unis are more interested in providing degrees that will resort in 100% employment at the end - i.e because they are so mathematical that the City want you to work for them!! This is not what an engineering degree should provide.

Give me your thoughts, it would be good to talk to the RAeS and be able to say that it is not just Imperial that feel like this!
