Hi Pilot16,

Not a bad idea, especially if you can afford not having to work the year before the University Degree.

However the only point I am going to make is undertaking the CPL/IR flight training courses during your Degree course... You may find the CPL and IR courses need a lot of concentration to absorb the information being thrown your way, i.e. it takes a couple of months of full time training to get through the flight training courses, so trying to carry out a degree course at the same time could prove a little overwhelming?

Mind you you'll have three months off for summer vacations...

Just my thoughts on the subject.

Best wishes,

Charlie Zulu.
