Mirror,


Not sure where abouts you are from, but i strongly reconmend The University of Salford. Here you can study aviation technology and Pilot studies.

From this you get a BSc , and a PPL in 3 years. You will study things such as Airworthiness and certification (air accidents, how they are investigated, ICAO publications, JAA EASA etc..) , PPL exams taught to ATPL level, which provokes a much deeper level of understanding, Engineering methodology which is maths basically ( though this is not that bad) aerodynamics , airlone route planning, CRM the lot. Basically it focusses more on the flying aspects, and you cover some engineering aspects, so that you develope a broad understanding of everything that goes into the aviation world.
Im currently on year 2, and we have an option to stay for a 4th year, through which we get a masters degree and a frozen atpl. All exams are conducted in house, and we have all the facilities for all the aviation needs. We even have the medicals done here. Also we have moving base simulators for IR training and so on.

Hope this is of help to you,

Antony
