Here at the University of Hertfordshire, we have two programmes that are relevant to you - BEng Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies, and BSc Aerospace Technology with Pilot Studies.  Both will give you a degree and also some progress towards a UK Private Pilots License. They don't go the whole way, though, and there are additional fees to pay.

I hope this helps.
