An ATPL is a recognised entry qualification (in place of a first degree) to City University's Air Transport MSc programme.

Also an ATPL forms the second year of City's BSc in Air Transport Operations. It is possible for a student who already holds an ATPL to do the first year and go straight to third year using the ATPL credits to cover the second year.
