The Aviation Technology course at Leeds includes the PPL (subsidised by the university) in your first year. By subsidised I mean I paid £4800 for 45 hours in a PA28 out of Sherburn in 2009, including the PPL skill test (not including examiner fee - £100), and a starter kit. I got my own headset and some additional kit with the spare change. The benefit of doing a PPL this way is you meet some great friends and learn along side other like minded individuals, all of course with the same dreams and ambitions. The whole course was a fantastic experience, both academically and socially (nights out, life skills, living away from home) and I can't recommend it enough - it has certainly given me knowledge and a lot of useful skills for the future.
