Aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering can be studied at the bachelors, masters and Ph.D. levels in aerospace engineering departments at many universities, and in mechanical engineering departments at others.
Institution names are followed by accreditation where applicable.
In Brazil the B.Sc., M.Sc. and PhD degrees in Aerospace Engineering are offered by universities like: Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina – UFSC at Joinville campus, Universidade Federal do ABC – UFABC at Sao Bernardo do Campo campus, Universidade de São Paulo – USP at São Carlos campus, Instituto Tecnologico de Aeronautica – ITA, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais – UFMG and Universidade de Brasília - UnB at Gama campus. The admission for these courses features among the most difficult in Brazil, partly due to its competitive Vestibular (similar to ACT and SAT in USA).
In Canada, undergraduate degrees in aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering can be earned at Carleton University, Concordia University, École Polytechnique de Montréal, the Royal Military College of Canada and Toronto Metropolitan University. Undergraduate aerospace engineering options, or related programs, are available through, McGill University, the University of Toronto, the University of Windsor, and the University of Manitoba. The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board is responsible for accrediting undergraduate aerospace engineering programs, [7] graduate study in aerospace engineering is also available at several Canadian post-secondary institutions, though Canadian post-graduate engineering programs do not require accreditation.
In Québec, École Polytechnique de Montréal, McGill University, Laval University, Université de Sherbrooke, Concordia University and École de Technologie Supérieure offer a joint program in the field of aeronautics and space technology leading to a M.Eng. (Aero).
Only undergraduate engineering programs in Canada are accredited, [7] and this is done by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board.

In the UK, aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering can be studied at the B.Eng., M.Eng., MSc. and Ph.D. levels at a number of universities. The first institution in the UK to teach in this field was Queen Mary, University of London, [171] which, with the dissolution of the University of Paris (whose chair was founded at around the same time [172] ), maintains the longest continuous experience of doing so in the world. In 2017, The Complete University Guide rankings for the top ten undergraduate programs in the United Kingdom were: (1) University of Cambridge, (2) Imperial College London, (3) University of Bristol, (4) University of Bath, (5) University of Southampton, (6) Loughborough University, (7) University of Surrey, (8) University of Leeds, (9) University of Nottingham, and (10) University of Glasgow, where parentheses indicate the ranking. [173] University of Cambridge and Imperial College London are consistently placed within the top 10 institutions offering undergraduate programs and research in aeronautical engineering, both being ranked within the top 10 in the world every year since 2013 by QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education World University Rankings. [174] [175] The Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London is noted for providing engineers for the Formula One industry, [176] an industry that uses aerospace technology. Cranfield University is also known to produce the largest number of postgraduates in the UK with an aerospace engineering related degree. [177]
Aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering can be studied at the advanced diploma, bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. levels in aerospace engineering departments at many U.S. universities, and in mechanical engineering departments at others. A few departments offer degrees in space-focused astronautical engineering.
In 2015, the U.S. News & World Report rankings for the top ten undergraduate programs were: (1) Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (2) Georgia Institute of Technology, (3) University of Michigan, (4) Purdue University, (5) California Institute of Technology, (6) Stanford University, (7) Princeton University, (8) University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, (9) University of Maryland, College Park, and (10) University of Colorado at Boulder, [10] University of Texas, Austin, where parentheses indicate the ranking, and same number indicates a tie in scores. [178]
In 2016, the U.S. News & World Report rankings for the top ten graduate programs were: (1) Massachusetts Institute of Technology, (2) Georgia Institute of Technology, (2) Stanford University, (4) University of Michigan, (4) California Institute of Technology, (6) Purdue University, (7) University of Texas at Austin, (8) University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, (8) University of Colorado at Boulder, (10) Texas A&M University, (10) University of Maryland, College Park, where parenthesis indicate the ranking and the same number indicates a tie in scores.

Engineering education is the activity of teaching knowledge and principles to the professional practice of engineering. It includes an initial education (Dip.Engg.)and (B.Engg.) or (M.Engg.), and any advanced education and specializations that follow. Engineering education is typically accompanied by additional postgraduate examinations and supervised training as the requirements for a professional engineering license. The length of education, and training to qualify as a basic professional engineer, is typically five years, with 15–20 years for an engineer who takes responsibility for major projects.
