Aeronautical and Astronautic Engineering is a five (5) years course in Nigerian universities.
Aerospace Engineering is a lucrative course for students who want to build a career in aerospace engineering.
Aeronautical engineering is a branch of engineering concerned with constructing aircraft like aeroplanes and helicopters.
There are two (2) core aspects of aerospace engineering;
- Aeronautical Engineering
- Astronautical Engineering
Aeronautical Engineering in Nigeria is a new career option for students. Unlike other engineering disciplines, Aeronautical Engineering is new in Nigerian Universities.

Hello,Which University Are You Sure Off That Offers Aeronautical Engineering In Nigeria ?
Glory,
LASU and ABUAD currently offer Aeronautical Engineering in Nigeria.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Can i use hnd in mechanical engineering upper to apply for aeronautical engineering in obafemi awolowo university, 300l?
Yes, Patrick
It is possible.
Boss how much is there school fee
Moses,
School fees for what school?
What about direct entry to Aeronautical engineering
What are the requirements please
The requirements for direct entry to aeronautical engineering in Nigeria vary from university to university. However, the general requirements are as follows:

God help us too we ar passionate for this. I pray dat it will be possible even when it looks like it is impossible
Amen, James
I wish you success.
I got 203 in jamb and 69.375 in screening, can I study aeronautics in LASU?
Yes, Aina,
69.75 is a good aggregate score for Aeronautics Engineering.
I got 220 in jamb can I by any means still get admission into LASU to study aeronautical engineering
It is possible if you get a high score in your Post UTME.
may God gran me save journey to get addmition one among the two pls for AERONAUTICAL ENGR Is my desire
