Hi, I was faced with the same problem two years ago. I found out about a course at city university called Air Transport Operations. It includes doing your flight training in the 2nd year after studying in london for a year. I am at jerez at the moment doing my ATPL, and will go back to city next year part time.
I suggest that uni is worth going to just for the life experience more than anything else. I was wary about going straight from school to do my ATPL. Being here is nothing like uni and certainly for me uni was the greatest year of my life.
Enjoy yourself whilst getting a useful degree, thats my advice.
