I've just recently graduated from one of the said courses. Take a good look into how the flying is arranged. It does not normally count for any university credit. Also take a look at the times of year you will be flying and how often. We flew mainly in winter (Crap weather) Nobody on my course finished during the allocated time and had to folk up lots of extra cash and spend holidays trying to finish their PPL well into their 3rd year with mountains of work on top to do.
On the plus, it was an awesome experience and the hard work people put in trying to keep it all in line was certainly rewarded with good degrees and the ability to take your mates for a ride in a diddy plane, That is if you had any cash left from paying for everything!!!!!!
