Try something like the Casio fx-991ms. That's what I used.
It's recommended by a lot of the groundschool providers, and complies with the non-programmable requirement.

Casio FX83 - it's become the standard for just about everything these days, whether you're an ATPL student, or a University science student. Does everything, easy to use, cheap and reliable.
I think I own about 5 - flight bag, briefcase, two different offices and one at home.

Make sure it has degrees, minutes and seconds button. Casio is probably best, simply because more people have them and you will be able to get help using it.

If it's any help my calculator packed in during mod1 at Bristol. Had to buy one from them, the model is a Sharp EL-W531. £8 or so, most everyone there seems to use them and I certainly had no issues with it in the exams.
Good luck with your studies.

Why not try using your brain instead of a machine.

And I still can't work out the square root of a random number as acurately and quickly as my calculator, nor the many other questions it helps you to move quickly through when you have a timed exam.
I'd advocate practicing mental arithmetic as often as possible but as whirls says not during an exam where you are permitted to use them.
If you did A-Level (or even GCSE Maths) the calculator you had will be absolutely fine - I dug mine out a few months back - 7 years old and still works fine - hate all the new ones so I dread it dying before the exams are over.
