I'm sure you've noticed that even in Scotland, university graduates end up with substantial debts. Whilst Aero-Eng is a good, solid, employable degree - it's also aimed at working in a particular fields and the crossover to flying is not substantial.
Doing one then the other is a hellishly expensive occupation, and if the flying goes wrong then the gap, potentially of several years, between finishing education and looking for a graduate job is, whilst not terminal, not particularly enhancing to the career start either.
Another factor worth thinking on is that a professional pilot's career ends (medical permitting) generally at 65 at the moment, and in all likelihood that will drift up towards 70 in the next few decades. In other words, somebody in their late teens or early 20s really has no need to hurry.
In my opinion, then there are two sensible options for somebody like your daughter:
(1) If they are far more serious about the flying than the engineering, duck out of the degree and get on with the flying training [albeit that the modular/PAYG routes are much cheaper to achieve the same licences than the integrated routes]. If having a degree generally seems a good idea (although it really is not important to a pilot working in the UK or Europe), then there are cheaper part time routes that can be pursued
(2) Finish the degree, probably look to do a PPL earlier rather than later, get a job as an aeronautical engineer, then look to doing the ATPL writtens then CPL flying self funded and paying for it as she goes along.
Both of these seem to me more rational than running up big debts for a degree, then bigger debts doing an integrated course. The decision as to which however is the best route sits with your daughter depending upon her strongest motivation. If it's really strongly for the flying, it's (1), if it's equally for the flying and engineering then it's (2).
Either way, there's a 40+ year career after in the chosen direction, so really no need to hurry.
