So I presume you have an interest in these pish courses.

Thank goodness the goverment arn't funding these courses pissing tax payers money up the wall.

And hopefullly it will reduce the the number of them.

Its a mish mash of business studys/low level managment and low level technical knowledge with the ATPL's thrown in.

Decent BSc's have all 4 cats over all three years along with a project at the end which comprises of all of them.

As you brought Liverpool up

Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies BEng (Hons) - University of Liverpool

Just look at the difference in the course content between an acredited BEng degree and the BSc meant to be the same level of qualification. They have more academic content in the first year than City do in all three years. And the BSc has one year where everyone buggers off to do aged 16 level ATPL theory and miss handling an aircraft round an instrument procedure.

And thats not true about everywhere costing 9k you can do a whole raft of degrees in Scotland for £1820 a year and for the Sciences/ Engineering etc £2895 Scottish students get it free of course.
