I know of three UK based engineering degrees that include a PPL - Liverpool (in my opinion the best set up at present), Sheffield (getting there), and Brunel (announced but not yet started running, I have inside knowledge that it should be pretty good). Leeds also offer a BSc in "aeronautical science" with a PPL, but for my taste their academic syllabus is (relative to the others) a bit lightweight, and isn't accredited by the RAeS.

In the US there are several "aeronautical science" degrees, which basically consist of a lightweight-ish aeronautics course (not really intended to produce engineers - but extremely knowledgeable pilots), and a full CPL/IR. The best known (and possibly best) provider of these is Embry Riddle at Daytona Beach, FL and Prescott, AZ.
