MS Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering

[ksridh]

Hi,

 

My sincere apologies if this forum is not for my below query....

 

I have always been interested in applied mathematics and physics and have done well in Math from my school days till bachelors. I have now decided to do what I like till date and have enrolled for a Bachelor of Science - Mathematics, which has more of applied math syllabus. This degree also covers Mechanics & Dynamics to the required levels and I want to capitalize on this degree and see if I can get into a MS Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering program.

 

The crude reality is that I am 33 yrs now and will at least be 38 if I get my admission.

 

Please advise if Universities take such candidates at that age and also after graduation, job prospects at 40/41 yrs.

 

Also, below is a brief about my background:

 

· 12 years work experience in Financial Services and IT, latter being the current one I am working in. Been in IT Operations, Delivery and Business Continuity and currently moved to a new role of a Project Manager.
· Executive Program in Business Management from IIM Calcutta, 2012 – 2013, with 3.6 GPA out of 4.0.
· Bachelor of Commerce, passed out in 2000 with 2.7/2.8 GPA out of 4.0.
· 3 years Masters Diploma in IT with 4.0 GPA out of 4.0.
· Currently pursuing R programming and Advanced Excel courses from a local institute here.

 

Please advise....Thanks....Karthik.

Yes, universities do take mature candidates (in the UK anyway). Your job prospects depend on the local market (or if you are able to relocate) and your technical/personal abilities (study hard).

 

If you do as well in this degree as you've previously done then finding a job shouldn't be too hard (and, make sure to do enough networking). I think your 12 years experience will be a benefit to you.

 

Good luck.
