GCNS not for Aviation

GCNS is a good place for Marine studies. Same goes to University of Strathclyde and University of Glasgow! These two universities’ Marine department combined into one and formed UGS (Universities of Glasgow and Strathclyde) NAME Department.

I have friends (from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, India) went to Glasgow for their studies (in LLB, BEng, MEng, BSc., BA, MBBS , MBA and etc.).

Back to your question. Flying in UK is unaffordable! Too expensive for any flight training! The flight training cost for PPL in UK is about the same as FAA CPL (SE+VFR) or Philippines ATO CPL (ME+IR) or India DGCA CPL (SE+IR) or Australia CASA CPL (SE+VFR) cost!

Get you training done in U.S. or the Philippines or Thailand! It is worth it and you save lots of money! After you have received your licence, just do a UK-JAR (FCL) conversion! All you need is to sit for the papers, a few hours of flight training and a check-ride to get your UK-JAR (FCL) pilot licence!

If you were to train in any of these foreign country, other expenses (such as accommodation, traveling expenses, daily meals, & etc.)(plus flight training) and/or after UK-JAR (FCL) licence conversion cost, the total amount spent may still way below the cost of full flight training in UK!
