What Degree Course?

Hello everyone this is my frist post so here goes.

having finally decided to pursue a career in commercial aviation I feel the best route for my own fulfilment is to undertake a aviation affiliated degree. I would like to study past A Level and would also like the added insurance and benefit of studyin to degree level.

What I wanted to know is which institutes are the strongest for aerospace engineering and aviation. I also wanted to know which courses and universities are respected within the industry and in particular the ATPL training schools like CTC and OET. I want to put myself in a very good position to apply for sponshorship and would feel that an industry specific degree would benefit me well.

My choices are as follow:

Loughborough uni - aerospace engineering

Leeds uni - aviation with pilot studies

Brunel uni - aeronautical engineering + aviation engineering with pilot studies

Kingston uni - aeronautical engineering + foundation degree for commercial atpl training with cab air ( modular )

UCL Queen Marys uni- aeronautical engineering + avionics

I am also soon to sit the GAPAN apptitude and psyometric test to see how i measure up.

Any advice or information would would be greatly appreciated here.

Thanks
