I don't think there are any degrees in the UK that have been approved by the CAA/EASA to allow the degree holder to apply for a C Licence.
I know a couple of people with aeronautical engineering degrees (real cone heads) who talked to the CAA about it years ago but they were told that their degree course syllabus would have to be scrutinised by the CAA to see if it met the requirements and they would have to pay for that to be done, a sum well in five figures. That put an end to the conversation.
Also, any university or college that wants to get a degree course approved to allow for C Licence application have to go through that process as well and as far as I know, none of them are prepared to pay what the CAA are asking to do it.
That is for the UK. Pound to a pinch of s*** it is different across the Channel.
Certification of the aircraft following base maintenance has to be done by a type rated C Licence holder, not just some degree educated person approved by Quality, they must hold the C Licence.
