Its not just them Genghis that BSc at Leeds is a pile of ****e as well. And they are charging 4k a year for it with Flying on top. 12k would get you ppl and theory done in 7 months.

This is the most laughable one though

Air Transport Operations with ATPL | City University London

And the cost is out of this world 9 grand for that!!! for first year.

And 3 to 85k for second year? what do you get for second year for 85k CPL/IR MCC and 747 type rating with base check included.

I hope they include in the crisis managment modual how to deal with realising christ I have just wasted 3 years and have ended up with the same license as everyone else, a degree thats not worth the paper its written on and its cost me more than going to oxford.

If I saw that course on anyones CV it would be in the bucket on the grounds they must be stupid to be suckered into that.

The fact that these courses are even worthy of a BSc just shows you how worthless degrees have become now. Bachelor of Science my arse,

Scientific method err nope
numerical techniques err nope
practical scientific method err nope
problem solving err nope

Whats does the hons stand for? "honest it really is" would be approprate.
