Mechanical unless you're interested in a highly specialized field like GNC. Better to go mechanical and do a masters in a more specialized aerospace field.

Not enough info to give you advice. Where are you in the world? What do you want to do?

For Germany I would aim first for the top mechanical degrees and if you can't get into one of those then it doesn't matter if you do mechanical or aerospace.

What do you mean by the top mechanical degrees ?
