London Metropolitan University t!ts up too?
PPL groundschool classes not running this year but are London Met stopping ATPL and aviation management degree courses from next year too?
I've had different answers from them but nothing concrete yet.
Anyone know what's the latest situation?

Also they are at a 17.5% advantage over the other suppliers because they don't pay VAT on the course fee's
But it does take up alot of resources which don't help thier research points. Could be there is more money to be made banging out papers than teaching a pish degree and a foundation level none academic course.

The truth about whats happening at LMU
1. Yes LMU is having to pay back a large sum to HEFCE, but this is nothing to do with the aviation department. It concerns the whole Uni.
2. Yes the PPL night class was cancelled by the powers that be. It was not a lost leader, it actually made a profit. However, I am pleased to say that we have found a venue for it if you are interested call us.
3. The full time and distance learning ATPL courses are running as normal and we are still recruiting for this year and next.
4. The Aviation Degree Pilot Pathway had students enrolled on the first year in Sept. The second year is the ATPL Theory and CPL flying. The Uni has a commitment to see these students out.
So to squash any more rumours - Its business as usual here at LMU

Distance Learning
Hi, just wondering if I did distance learning with Met what extras would I need on top of their package? For e.g., would I need to buy access to a question bank? Could someone who has done it give me an idea of how much it worked out for you in the end and what extras you bought?
Thank you!
Thank you!

This is a disappointment because as well as taking this course into consideration for next year, I have a contact of someone who is also on the course at the moment and is being messed around by the course leaders and lecturers.
To Peter, if I were to start this course next year would it be as advertised by the prospectus? Because according to the person on the course at the moment currently undertaking the FDSc, the modules should be separate for the FDSc and BSc. However the university has decided to bunch both degrees together without explanation.
This is the set of modules for the 1st year for FDSc Students
Level 1 modules include:

CATS belly-up? I've been swapping emails with them today about groundschool for the IR - but if they're on the way out, it would help to know! I hope not, they sound just what I want...
