Can you clarify if I should pursue engineering management or another management course or degree for a Master's/MBA?

For your background in Aerospace Engineering, a Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is usually the best fit if you want to move into leadership roles within technical or engineering-focused industries. MEM programs combine engineering knowledge with management skills, preparing you for positions like project manager or engineering manager while staying connected to your technical field.

If you’re considering a broader business career - even outside engineering - an MBA (Master of Business Administration) is better suited, as it covers general business topics like finance and marketing and welcomes students from all academic backgrounds.

Your choice depends on whether you want to lead in technical environments (MEM) or pursue wider business leadership opportunities (MBA).
