Bachelor of Aeronautical Engineering
Hi everybody!
I would like to know if there is any university in Europe that offers a Distance Learning Bachelor in Aeronautical Engineering.
Thanks to everybody and Happy New Year!

Certainly nobody does one here in Britain - it's something I'm quite well known for having tried to change. And failed
(so far anyhow 
)
You can do a distance learning Aero-Eng degree with ERAU (Embry Riddle Aeronautical University) in the USA without actually going there. However, it's expensive and I've no idea how FEANI member associations would regard it - I'd certainly check that before signing up.

I started applying with Emery Riddle for a Masters in Aeronautics and took a while to figure out the costing as its module based. Eventually got a reponse and cost came to about $20,000, so looks like I'll give that a miss.
I am also looking for correspondance coarses in aero eng but not having much sucess outside of highly priced USA. European colleges want you to appear on campus sometimes.

Sounds about right - education ain't cheap I'm afraid. Unless you qualify for some kind of grant, I'd be surprised if you get a Masters qualification anywhere that is much cheaper.
The best known distance-learning training provider in the UK is the Open University but I'm afraid that they don't do aeronautics - and of-course they want you on campus for short periods. You really think anybody can award a degree of that level without some direct contact and lab-time? That said, it *may* be that they can form some arrangement with a local university in that regard.
American universities can offer distance learning without time on campus because they are fairly unique in the western world now in their degree education - it is based upon learning and repetition, rather than learning to do and think. The former can be done without direct contact, the latter is impossible.

$20k! 
Genghis, is that a typical price in the UK?! I was fancying a masters after my Aerospace Engineering degree, but if its going to cost me ~£10,000 I don't think I'll bother
Quiet fancied the MSc in Turbomachinery from Sussex. Not sure what would be a good masters, for a guy with an Aerospace Engineering degree, who will be a Licensed Engineer, but wants to eventually be a Pilot Any recommendations?
Thanks

Depends who you are and where you go.
At Cranfield for a 1-year MSc they charge £7k for a UK or EU student, or £15k for anybody from elswhere.
As a UK or EEA student at Brunel (a university I know pretty well) you can expect to pay about £3,000 for a 1-year course (that's obviously just fees, not accomodation, etc.) That's the maximum they're allowed to charge you (although in practice expect a few hundred more for exam fees, etc.) For overseas I'd expect them to add another £5-£7k, which is what we'd get from the government if you were British - but I'm damned if I can find the actual fee anywhere. [Incidentally, ignore the Aerospace MSc on Brunel's website, I haven't written it yet and it'll be at-least a year before I have time to start.]
At Sheffield (another university I teach engineering at occasionally) you'd be charged £3,085 as a Brit, or £10,800 for a foreigner for an Engineering MSc.
In the USA, they generally have a flat (high) fee, but home students are supported by a plethora of grants and awards from all sorts of states, societies, etc - none of that's likely to be available to a non-yank.

hi all
I know that kingston university are offering anyone with a Part 66 Licence B1 or B2 the chance to gain a degree using their licence as credit for the first two years of the degree,which allows you to complete the final year in one year full time or two years part time.
here's the web link for the courses they're offering
http://www.kingston.ac.uk/~kuweb/und...gineering.html
http://www.kingston.ac.uk/~kuweb/und...20Studies.html
you need to contact the course admissions coordinator for an application/info pack stating which licence you have
I'm enrolling in the sept 06 entrance but i'm still waiting for the exact cost (in the region of £750-£900 per year,thanks to Mr Bliar
).
Hope this helps
