Airbus Girl,
No no, pardon for the bigoted rant, I retract most of the nonsense I have already purported, and indeed I did wander form the subject –Greatest Apologies.
The idea of a one stop shop for completing a degree and having an integrated flying element would be brilliant, as far as I know only City have this scheme, although as a home student, it would be quite mad to sign up unless you have a hallmarked spoon in your mouth, and money conservation isn’t an issue. The course is, I suspect aimed at another market.
Doing the course at Embry –Riddle (
http://www.erau.edu/) or any of the other larger, well known US/Canadian/etc establishments is an option. However, staying in UK and using your summer months for a big chunk of progress would be a lot more cost effective). You could keep current while studying (hence the convenience of Cranfield).
Any road, as has been said before, the ATPL is the only relevant standard in the pilot’s world, and no supplementary degree will overshadow it. Its better to do well at what you do do (eg Sociology) and enjoy it, than plough through a career augmenting course that you don’t enjoy. As long as you enjoy the flying, la vita will be good. As I guess will be apparent soon anyway.
Patience
