OK - So I've hit a stumbling block with my book. *hates research hate hate
hate*

I have a boy who wants to go to Oxbridge - this is 1960...

He's got an engineering kind of mind, but I don't think degrees in
"Engineering" were actually offered until the 1990's - so what sort of
carreer path would he have? anyone know?

Degree in Maths? or Physics? Then what? Not an apprentice?

Have a look at Oxford's website. The department is older than you think:

Cambridge, too, has an older Engineering department than you realise:

Thank you so much for that - that's fascinating! The page I found said that they weren't available until quite recently.

What annoys me is that they don't say WHAT the degree is called - they just assume you know ....
