I am half weh hey hey thru a modular course, I looked into oxford, in fact i looked into most schools in the world i think. I gave up work having saved a bit. I reckon I can finnish it all for 30k. I got my PPL in the states, came back. went out again to build hours. THEN gave up work.
Oxford does look good on a CV. Do you get treated like an ODD one out being non-sponsored student at oxford?? I was under the impression that you do, but you will need to ask someone studying there to find out. I am going through London Guildhall, they have been good and are cheap, they also have a proven track record. There are many ways to do it cheaper than 50-60k. If you have a family etc. it may be worth taking some time to find out the real facts about schools.
Yes you come out at the end with the same license, but know this, you HAVE to do the CPL/IR (flying) in the same country as the ATPL ground (fact).
In short, I am paying for accom/living in London for 6 mnths, all my courses and exam fees, and have realisticly budgeted 30k. This includes a ppl in the states. But i am not there yet!
My opinion, stay in england!(except for ppl)
