    There used to be a course listing on the CAO website for Aerospace Engineering, but the link has now been removed. The listing for the most similar looking course, Aircraft Systems, is here on the IT Carlow website: Aircraft Systems.

    It looks to be between 300 (cut off) and 490 (max) points at the moment.

    The Aircraft Systems course is moving from a level 7 ordinary degree up to a level 8 honors degree and changing it's name to Aerospace Engineering. Because of this there's no points cause it's the first year of it coming up. Last years Aircraft Systems was 300, but expect it to go up as it's now a level 8.

    what exactly is the difference between the level 7 and 8? im presuming completing either would have made you a chartered engineer? (or whatever the name for official engineers is)
    but my main question is why is honours maths not a requirement? any other aerospace engineering course has it as a vital requirement, and many consider aerospace the most maths intensive of engineering branches (from what im aware)

    Well the course is geared towards getting an EASA licence to work on aircraft. You do the modules over the 3 years, work for a year in a job before you have the hours accumulated, and certificates to apply for the licence. The honours degree means you won't do the EASA because you won't get the hours in time, ie, you won't have graduated into the workplace. The level 8 means you can go straight for a masters, whereas with level 7 you've to do a pre-masters course (such as the one in Cranfield University which the IT has a connection with).
