The course is all about analysing and designing aircraft, and if that is what you plan to do with your career, there's no better choice. It is also very highly regarded as one of the most demanding general engineering degrees.
It aint easy, it is often frustrating, and it frequently seems to have nothing to do with aviation. I used to go down to the local aircraft museum every month or two to remind myself what I was doing it for.
Subsequently, I've used probably 90% of my aero-degree professionally (the stuff I haven't used is mostly the more obscure maths), but I've gone into fields where it's used. Much of it is at a very different level to, say, an ATPL and most people will tend to specialise in their careers and inevitably only use a small part of it.
If you only want to be a pilot, you may want to do something less demanding and spend the rest of your time at the UAS or University gliding club. If (like me) you want to work in Aerospace, it is easily the best choice - but don't expect an easy ride.
