Aero Eng/Flying (Glasgow)

I'm currently at the University of Glasgow studying Aero eng and enjoying it. A challenge yet all the hard paid off when it came the the December exams. My dream is to become an Airline pilot once (if) I graduate from university. I was wanting to know in the mean time however, if it's worth seeking flying lessons or if I should just leave this for when I can fully focus my efforts on flying.
My net experience is 2 hours flying a Cessna 152 from Glenrothes, Fife (my local airfield as my hometown is Dunfermline). I have flown around the the Forth road/rail bridges, up to Leuchars doing general handling and back to the airfield to do circuits.
Is it in my best interests to fly and study at the same time? If so, any recommendations for flying at Glasgow/Prestwick?

Any comments/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
