K Added Monday, March 3, 2025 at 12:26 PM I'd really like to go into engineering but I'm bad at maths. Is there anything I can do? To take engineering in university, I need to take A level maths but that isn't even a choice for me. I'm doing foundation maths meaning that the highest grade I can get is a 5 (9 is the highest but that's for a higher paper and I need at least a 7 for A level maths) but I'm so bad at maths I'm barely passing but I really want to do engineering. I'm looking at aerospace and pharmaceutical engineering. Is it possible to do engineering? Answers 1

Hi I'm a high school senior who's interested in aerospace engineering but my maths teacher told me that it's safer to get a degree in mechanical engineering and then a master in aerospace. It's said that it's difficult to land a job as an aerospace engineer and that's what frightens me. I'm quite interested in both and am having a hard time choosing, can you please help? Answers 1 Sibylle Walter, University of Colorado, Boulder Answered Sunday, May 18, 2014 at 12:08 PM Dear Hiba, First of: you should major in whatever you have the greater passion for. If you are passionate about aircraft or spacecraft, go for it. Things will fall into place. But if you're unsure, you might want to do mechanical ...
Kassia, Hot Springs Added Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 11:39 AM Physics and/or Aerospace Engineering Hello! I am a senior in high school, getting ready to apply to colleges and figure out what sort of career I want. I am not exactly sure what I want to do yet, and this is making it difficult for me to decide where I want to go. I want to either get a degree in physics/astrophysics or in aerospace engineering, and eventually get a PhD. What sort of degrees would you recommend for aerospace engineering? Would a minor in physics work? Also, do you know of any schools that would be good for ... Answers 1 Sibylle Walter, University of Colorado, Boulder Answered Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 11:39 AM Hi there. Great question! In general, astrophysicists would work more on the questions like "how does the universe work?" and "how did we get here?" and "are we alone out here?". They are scientists who look at data gathered by satellites, ...
