How Important is University

[Cesc]

I'll try and keep this short.

Basically I wanted to know how influential a University degree can be for an pilot. Im currently in my first year of Sixth and when i'm finished I will have everything I need to apply.

This field is obviously very competitive, would I be turned away straight away?

While I could do well at Uni after spending so long in education I would much rather join the Air Force than attend lectures for the next three years.

Would be grateful for any advice.

I'm almost certain that for Pilot in the RAF you need a degree, the RN and AAC have different criteria. I'd suggest you do a search for the criteria, either that or visit the AFCO.
