I think that there other courses out there, but frankly I doubt that you'll find one more suitable than Cranfield's. You could try Embry-Riddle, Glasgow or Southampton.
The important thing is to get an "in" which combined with good and relevant technical qualifications will get you on the road. I suspect that your physics degree, combined with some good flying experience may be enough to get your foot in the door - but there's a lot of luck involved in finding the door. That said, a suitable MSc will help you a lot, as will significant flying experience.
I would suggest shooting for FTE, if you have an eye to TP the FTE -> TP route is more reliable than PPL ->CPL -> TP. You'll still need a CPL in most places, but the flight test knowledge that you build up as an FTE will be of more relevance than any amount of commercial flying.
