The UK/EASA ATPL is eye wateringly expensive. Given that you cannot work in Europe I wouldn't bother with it.

In Europe, you'll graduate with a CPL/IR with ATPL subjects completed. After you have obtained 1500 hours (various breakdowns of what's required) you can sit the Licence Skills Test (LST), usually done in the sim on the type you're flying and then you'll hold the ATPL.

In Australia, you'll finish training with a CPL and IR with ATPL subjects completed.
You cannot get an ATPL from a flight school. (As Tinstaafl has said).

Emirates requires a few thousand hours on aircraft like the B737 or the A320 (etc) so it won't be your first job.

I would consider the Singapore college.
