Was wondering how many of you UK's pilots had a university degree and whether or not it was at all related to aviation?
I ask this as I am just beginning to make uni choices. Eventually I hope to go on to obtain a fATPL either through self-funding or sponsorship. I have found the following aviation related courses:

http://www.lboro.ac.uk/prospectus/ug/cv/atm/
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/speme/aviation/index.html
The first 2 courses aren't exactly from our ....uhum..."better" universities, which has led me to the following questions-
Do any of these courses make me any more attractive to a sponsor or if I go the self-funded route, an employer? i.e. would it put me "above" all the other low hour fATPL holders?
Or on the other hand would I do better with a largely unrelated degree, showing my other interests/talents? (I also might not go to uni at all)
thanks
