Personally, I don't see the point in going to uni to get a pilot licence which you can do for £10k-ish in about 1-2 years compared to the £27k+ in a 3 years bachelor's degree.

Nevertheless, there are 3 main universities that offer pilot training that would get you an APTL:
https://www.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/aviation-operations-with-commercial-pilot-training/
https://www.uclan.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses/aviation-bsc
https://www.bucks.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/aviation-management-pilot-training-C23

There are some unis that offer some PPL training as part of their degree, but they won't give you the full licence (so you would need to take further training to get the full licence):

https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/courses/2024/aerospace-engineering-with-pilot-studies-beng-hons#course-overview
https://www.salford.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/beng-aircraft-engineering-pilot-studies

I don't have an opinion on which degree is the best other than the first 3 mentioned. However, I would prefer to get the licence privately anyway.
