I am just completing my dissertation having been sponsored by my employer....overall the course is very good with lots of interesting stuff and lots of room for some lively debate! However, you will need to be committed as there is a lot of work involved particularly towards the end (where I find myself!) I will have completed in 2 years but you can take up to 5 if necessary.
There is also a good mix of professions with pilots/ops/atc/engineering all well represented. On the job front prospects look good without committing myself to far!
If you want any more info then let me know on here and I will let you have my email to discuss further.
SPIKE.
Having just looked at your profile should add that a few of your comrades are taking part (F3 drivers/ATCO's) although most doing it with an eye to civillian employment...I followed similar path after life of crime in FAA.
