I fly with several pilots who took all of their courses in Oxford, England (Kidlington). All of them enjoy their experience there.

Is there a particular reason you want to live in England so badly? It is easily one of the most expensive places in the world to live and pilot jobs are rather scarce at the moment. Moreover, I have several Brit friends and family that have left England, or would leave if they were younger. Between the cost-of-living, the immigration problem, and the politics many of them do not wish to stay.


That aside, the plan to get your A&P is a great one. Stick with it. Beyond that, and I think 95% of the airline pilot forum membership would agree with me, is to get a degree in something other than any professional pilot program. It is an extremely limiting degree, it's needlessly expensive, and airlines do not care what your major is in. Find something else that interests you.

I would aim for a university that you believe you would enjoy your time at, that also has a nearby FBO flight school.

Good luck.
