This makes no sense... A fATPL is WAY cheaper than a degree. You can certainly do it for £35-40k.
To get a degree you're looking at £9250 per year for 3 years = £27,750 not including living costs. If you work full time for 2 years you can take your £27,750 plus whatever you've managed to save and easily afford to spend the third year getting licenced.
