Jacopo,

If I may offer a suggestion, whatever you do, get a degree in engineering. I take it from your question that you are interested in being a pilot. The flight training is only one part of your education and although you can get a job without a four year degree, an engineering degree can always be your backup plan. The engineering degree can even get you to the NASA Astronaut program.

As far as schools, I would highly recommend Parks College of St. Louis University. Believe it or not, St. Louis University has a campus in Madrid Spain. I am sure if you wanted to come to the U.S. that you could transfer easily into the USA from this campus to the main campus in St. Louis Missouri.

I've been in the aviation industry for over 20 years. I went to medical school at St. Louis University. Then became a pilot.

Let me know if you have any additional questions. Here is a link to the campus in Madrid Spain.

Here is a link to the main campus in the USA. You can check here to see if they have a sponsorship program.

The Madrid Campus has an engineering degree program where you do two years in Madrid then transfer to the USA. You could start this program, then come to the USA and finish while you do the flight training here. Here is a link to the engineering program.

The link below will tell you about all the different programs that transfer to the main Campus here in the USA. Again, I highly stress the importance of the engineering degree. You could even get a great high paying job with Boeing when the airlines are all furloughing.

Best of luck!
