I'm currently at the University of Liverpool (UK) studying Aerospace Engineering with Pilot studies. There is one academic module in the first year covering about 70% of the PPL(A) syllabus. There is also one module in second year which covers some more advanced theory, I think it's ATPL ground school stuff.
The requirement for the course is that we complete 20 hours of flying the first year, that's all, but we are given a bit of support if we want to continue in the second year. It's set up through our local flying school at Liverpool John Lennon airport. The additional cost to tuition fees for flying cost us £3350.
Hope this helps.
