However, a student whose degree is classified third class or higher is considered "to have achieved honours status". [3] Until recently, all undergraduates studied for the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The BFA was introduced in 1978.
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.
The Department of Engineering Science is the engineering department of the University of Oxford. [1] It is part of the university's Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division .

As of 2019 the accounts of the Oxford colleges included total assets of £6.6 billion. [58] This figure does not reflect all the assets held by the colleges as their accounts do not include the cost or value of many of their main sites or heritage assets such as works of art or libraries. [64]
Aerospace engineering is the primary field of engineering concerned with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. [3] It has two major and overlapping branches: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. Avionics engineering is similar, but deals with the electronics side of aerospace engineering.
The Oxford Admissions Study was a research project set up to investigate access issues, in which data were collected on 2,000 students who applied to the university in 2002, including exam results from the universities they went on to attend. [16] A number of reports were published based on these data.
Forecasts for a near-term stock-market correction are getting more plentiful. The S&P 500's recent performance and technical indicators suggest a possible downturn.
[20] [21] As a major provider of social science research, it is accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council as a Doctoral Training Centre of excellence in research training. [22] [23] From 2021 the division's head is Professor Timothy Power. [24] From 2008 to 2017 the head was Professor Roger Goodman.
