Send clowns makes an excellent point.
If you want to be a pilot, train at a flying school. Do it as quickly as possible to maintain continuity. Fair enough if you want a degree do it first, but trying to combine both looks to me like a mess.
Anyone know what the fees are?
There is another scheme which tries to combine both - at Leeds, although that is just to PPL level. I've seen those guys around and I think the same thing - why? They are getting a PPL for about a grand less, but in return are taking ages over it. The degree itself really isn't going to put them in a better position to get a job. And it really is a course cut to the bone, the instrument stuff being done in a sim. If they spent those 3 years working they could afford a CPL/IR straight off.
