Luke, I found the exact same thing once working for the airlines. I investigated London Guildhall for the Masters of Aviation degree, one year part time for a cost of £6,000 which was a bit much for me. What I ended up doing are papers with the open university in the UK. So far I have done Sociology and Humanities, so far these papers can be counted towards dozens of different degrees, it is only on the next paper that I need to decide which actual degree I want. These two entry level papers cost me £400 per paper so much more on my budget. The other advantage for me was I am also looking to return to NZ eventually and the OU U.K. if affilliated with the Open Polytechnic in NZ so if you don't finish the degree here you can transfer credits to NZ.
This time in four years I will have a nice shiney law degree to add to my flying licences which I feel is applicable to more different post flying careers that the masters in aviation would have been.
