You could take a look at degree courses which integrate some type of flying training and geared up towards aviation operations and services rather than manufacturing and design like those at Leeds Uni and Salford. I did the course at Leeds which has worked well for me but it is not as good as it used to be (see my other posts) and I probably would not apply now. I think there are degree course which now integrate the ATPL at City, but I could be wrong.
