The KingstonUni course sounds good for the likes of you, If successful you get a degree in aeronautical engineering. You also get some exemptions for the JAR 66 licence examinations. You still need two years practical experience. Much of this you could pick up working in your vacations. With this and your degree coursework you would probably be able to pass the rest of the licence examinations without too much difficulty.
In this stratosphere would you ever bother to do much more than this with your JAR 66 licence? As suggested above you would move into cleaner realms untroubled by the need to struggle with brake units at 3am and 3C with the rain going sideways. Go for it.
