So your trying to compare a faculty approved BSc with a fully accredited engineering degree for CEng? And although there is three modules of pilot studies is is really not the bulk of the course (and certainly not a whole year with nothing else). And it has a minimal flying content (20 hours) the ATPL studys isn't sight I am afraid its half a NPPL.

Engineering Maths to second year really kicks it out of the beckham studies league table.

And your Aero eng degree is perfectly acceptable in my book.

Aeronautical Engineering BEng/MEng | City University London

Two years of maths but its doesn't say if its acredited with the Engineering Council. Which if it isn't I am afraid makes it second league. (And if it is why arn't you selling that fact on the course details like Liverpool does?)

Then we have this.... BSc acredited by no one.

BSc (Hons) Air Transport Operations with ATPL | City University London

9K a year minimum plus living expenses which doesn't include flight training. You would have to be barking to be paying that. You could get CPL/IR and FI for 40k in 18 months.
