There are a few routes... Aviation Management/Systems Operations/Engineering/Design.

Details of the BSc Aviation Mgmt and Ops: This course gives you a broad understanding of the aviation industry and of core management competencies. You may choose either the Management Pathway, focusing on the management of airport, airline and ancillary businesses, or the Pilot Pathway, covering the foundation technical education required to be an Airline Transport Pilot. If you are following the Pilot Pathway you are required to complete practical flying training to obtain your Private Pilots Licence before entry to level 2. Unless you already hold a Private Pilot Licence you should plan to complete your own practical flying training between levels 1 and 2.

You are responsible for financing your flying training, which will cost approximately £4,000 for the Private Pilot Licence and about £20,000 to complete the Commercial Pilot Licence. To add the Instrument Rating, you will need a further £12,000. You should therefore ensure that you meet appropriate medical standards before starting the course. Flying training for Management Pathway students is optional.

I found another specific uni which gives plenty of info:

"The CCBC Aviation Program offers a variety of courses to meet your needs, whether you are looking to take ground school classes, complete a degree in aviation, or transfer to a four-year aviation college or university.

This program is designed to be flexible to accommodate both non-degree and degree-seeking students. Students wishing to complete an aviation degree may do so one or two courses at a time, or may opt to take classes full-time to earn their degree in minimum time. "
