It's the University of Lund, Sweden.
You can start the course and gain academical points without a PPL. You do only need at least a PPL in order to sit the exams at the aviation authority (in accordance to the JAR). There might be someone that just wants to become a ground instructor who doesn't have an interest to sit the exams at the authority.
I guess that formally, you are not allowed to sit the exams at the aviation authority if you don't possess at least a PPL at the time you start the course.
