Here is the list of accredited degrees in aeronautical engineering available in Britain.

For those who don't know, to become a Chartered Engineer, you need either an MEng or a BEng plus an MSc, ideally but not essentially an accredited one.

When I was working full time for a university I put together, and got accredited, one of the BEng/MEng + pilot studies programmes. The demands for standards from the RAeS were higher even than I had anticipated, but entirely appropriate in my opinion.

The entire PPL syllabus they allowed as 1 module (1/6th of the year) in the first year. We were never very interested in including much ATPL material, although a few bits snuck into some 3rd year courses on met and aircraft design.
