Edith Cowan University offer a BAv and BSc (Aviation) in Perth, Western Australia.

Quite close to Singapore.

I always wanted to goto university, but at the same time, you goto university to study something your enjoy. I went to university to study aviation. Im very happy with the direction my career has taken as a consequence.

Each to their own I guess.

With my BSc I can enrol in a 1 year MBA, something I couldnt do with out a Bachelors degree.

Downside of a degree is the time. You can do an integrated ATPL course and be employable inside 12 months, where as most Bachelor degrees are spaced out over 3 years. Thats not to say you cant study externally whilst pursuing employment.

I beleive that you should goto university if you want to goto university. Dont go just for the sake of going because you will waste your time. Especially when you could just get your license and get out there.

Only you can choose mate. Either way, If you career brings you to Perth, we'll go have a beer.
