mad-jock is once spouting off about something he knows absolutely nothing about!!
Re Air Transport Operations with ATPL at City University:-
And the cost is out of this world 9 grand for that!!! for first year.
Virtually ALL universities will be charging 9 grand per year from 2012 - and City's fee will not change. The reason it was 9 grand before is that the course did not receive Government funding. All universities will now be in the same boat!
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.
What you get for 85k is the Integrated course at Oxford - if the student chooses to do it that way - but they can also choose to go Modular at a much lower cost.
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
Scientific methods - Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics, Quantitative Methods
Numerical techniques -Quantitative Methods, Accounting and Business Finance, Airline Case Study
Problem solving - 3 major projects (also includes scientific research methods), Airline Case Study
Practical scientific methods - Aircraft Design, Developments in Avionics and IT
The fact that City has been teaching aeronautics for over a hundred years should indicate that they do know something about it and it is not a fly-by-night institution! This course is taught by the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences so has a good scientific/numerical basis.
