Brunel University just West of London (degree in Aviation Engineering with Pilot Studies) have a loose arrangement with Bournemouth College of Flight Training or BCFT. It goes something along the lines of:

Year 1: degree first year, PPL groundschool, flying training to NPPL(SSEA) at Wycombe Air Centre

Summer 1: quick upgrade to JAR PPL(SEP) BCFT groundschool, part 1, CAA exams

Year 2: degree second year, hour build at WAC

Summer 2: BCFT groundschool, part 2, CAA exams

Year 3: degree final year, graduate with BEng(Hons)

Starting summer 3: back to Bournemouth, get on with flying training to CPL.

- What you do about IR and MCC to fATPL is up to you, but doubtless Bournemouth would be happy to arrange that as well.


To a fair extent self managed, but two good organisations to train with, and a reasonably inexpensive way to do a degree and CPL together.
