Pilot studies funding

    I saw a course in DCU called Aviation Management with pilot studies, and I'm really interested in it.
    The only problem is that "the estimated cost of such training is €100,000". Do you have to get a loan and pay it back when you become a pilot?
    Also, I'm not interested in the Aviation management part which makes me think it would be much better to go to an actual pilot school if I was that interested in becoming one.
    The entry requirements are surprisingly low, is anyone doing this course? It's only new in DCU. I'm only in 3rd year but just thinking ahead.
    I'm also interested in doing Engineering in TCD if anyone has experience with it?

    If you are only looking at the course only for the pilot training, you would be better off going streight to pilot school outside of ireland. It would work out alot cheaper, around 60-70k. You would also reach your goals faster. As for the loans I highly doubt that banks would give it...
    I think you should have a look at aviation & aircraft forum on boards, I think that all issues with loans would be allready discused there.

    Regards,
    Darius.
