I can't see the point Genghis your either being educated to be an Engineer or your being trained to be a pilot.
Mind you I could never see the point of doing Engineering plus (biz,language,law etc etc) you just turned out students who wern't very good at 2 things instead of having a chance at be useful in one.
Instead if they had done a pure course then backed it up with post graduate study they would be useful in both subjects.
But these combination degrees look sexy in the prospectus and for the breeze block Uni's they can get students in who would never have looked at them before.
And that New Bucks course is a perfect example. Who would want to go to a Nursing/Teaching college to do a Biz degree?. Call it BA(Hons) Air Transport with Commercial Pilot Training and you get kids applying. The fact that the bit of paper at the end is good for next to nothing unless you do actually become a pilot doesn't seem to bother the Academics, who only care that they have bums in through the door.
