aeronautical engineering? Leeds university does a good course that is combined with LFS. Alternatively you could just do a subject you will enjoy, get good grades and worry about the flying (and how you are going to pay for it, using your graduate job) later. I did History
, did an integrated course and fared as well as any from loughborough and the like who had spent 4 years crunching numbers and working thier arses off. It was never mentioned in any interview. I would tend to agree with the point of view that your ATPL grades and your ability to actually fly an aeroplane give you the best chance of getting a job.
